The Personal Librarian - where I learned about her - is an astonishing book!
A WOW!
I worked at the Pierpont Morgan Library - as it then was - from 1987-1989, in their shop. I knew her story as a result of a trustee telling one of the guards, who told me and another co-worker. I suspect that it was the same gentleman who told the author of the biography about J.P. Morgan, Jean Strouse thirty years later; but I knew in 1987/88. I am looking forward to seeing this exhibition!
I saw a book about her at a TJX store in Canada
What years was Belle at Princeton? My grandmother was a secretary in the math department at Princeton in 30’s.
Not lost , they just refuse to talk about, we don't matter, or they don't want people to know.
I think there is a fiction book about her.
