Nora Saltonstall Seen here at the wheel of the yawl Comanche off the coast of Maine, Nora Saltonstall grew into a self-assured, adventurous woman. Although no rebel (she wasn’t a suffragist, for example), she was certain that she had something to offer to America’s war effort. Unlike most Americans who arrived in Paris during the war, she had already spent a year studying art and history while touring Europe. © Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, MA, USA/The Bridgeman Art Library.
