Talk:Louisine Havemeyer

let's get something straight about louisine's generosity
you say "After a period of failing health, Mrs. Havemeyer died in 1929. The terms of her will left a few choice paintings to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The final bequest, made possible by the generosity of her children, included nearly two-thousand works that enrich nearly every segment of the museum's collections."

this is not true. the entire bequest was at the direction of louisine's will, specifically the three codicils. don't make it sound as though she spent a lifetime collecting art and then left a piddling amount to the met, with the children picking up the slack.50.101.53.84 (talk) 16:39, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Children's dismay
Is there a source on her children's dismay at her activism? The entire section on her suffrage activism lacks citation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krazyabezyolojuice (talk • contribs) 19:06, 1 February 2014 (UTC) Was it the activism or the fact that she went to prison for it? She talks about her family's reaction to her arrest in "The Prison Special" (Scribners, June, 1922, p. 672-3) and Gere and Vaizy mention that her son-in-law Peter Frelinghuysen wouldn't allow her to visit his house following her confinement resulting from the demonstration in Washington, DC.
