The article presents an analysis of the book "Portraits and Backgrounds," written by Evangeline Wilbour Blashfield. In each of her four essays, Blashfield gives an intimate biography of a woman of marked personality and places her in the society amidst which her part was played. The range of subjects chosen is wide in time Gandersheim. One is Hrotsvitha, the tenth-century nun of Gandersheim; another, a Greek slave named Aisse, who had a strange career of love and religion in the France of the Regent; and the last is Rosalba Carriera, the Venetian artist who made a name for herself in the eighteenth century.
