EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we see Anne Constance Smedley, later known as Constance Armfield, in the early years of her remarkable life. Born on June 20, 1876, Smedley was an English artist, playwright, and author who is best remembered as the founder of the International Lyceum Clubs. This image, captured in 1903, shows a woman of great intellect and determination, her intense gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. Smedley's passion for the arts and education led her to establish the Lyceum Clubs, which were designed to provide a platform for women to engage in intellectual pursuits, socialize, and develop their creative talents. The first club was founded in London in 1894, and it quickly spread to other cities, becoming an influential force in promoting women's education and empowerment. As a writer, Smedley penned several plays and novels, including "The Squanderers" and "The Dwelling Place of Light." Her work often explored social issues and the experiences of women, reflecting her commitment to advancing gender equality. The portrait of Constance Smedley is a testament to her indomitable spirit and vision. With her innovative approach to women's education and her contributions to literature, she left a lasting impact on the cultural landscape of her time. This image serves as a reminder of her groundbreaking achievements and the enduring legacy of the International Lyceum Clubs.
