-her beautiful paintings showed children that they can do anything that they want in life as long as you beieve in yourself and set your mind to it. Painting can be a hard thing to do in lif, well for some people, im sure it was for mary at first. She knew that thats what she wanted to do with her life so she set her mind to it by goin to school/colleges around the world to lear about art.

-her parents would dissagree with her desicions in life. -they didnt want her to travel the world by herself just to persue a dream that mey not come true. "I would rather see you dead!” That’s what Mr. Cassatt said when he was informed that his daughter wanted to go to an art school. Her father and society didn’t accept American women as true artists, no matter how good their artworks were.
