"Servetseza Kadın (, meaning "Worthy of riches" in Persian; 1 September 182325 September 1878) was the first and chief consort of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire. Early life Servetseza Kadın was born on 1 September 1823 in Maykop, Yegeruqwai Princedom of Circassia. She was a member of the Circassian princely family of House of Temyryko () of princedom of Kabardia of Circassia. Her father was Prince Temyryko Mansur and her mother belonged to the Principality of Dadeshkeliani. She had two elder siblings, a brother Prince Andok Bey (1818 – 1886) and a sister, Princess Fatma Şemsfer Hanım (1821 – 1855), and a younger brother Prince Süleyman Bey (16 March 1825 – 1896). Marriage When Abdulmejid ascended the throne, after the death of his father on 2 July 1839, Esma Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid I, in whose household Servetseza had served, selected her as a consort for her nephew, the new Sultan. The marriage took place in 1839, and Servetseza became his principal consort with the title of "Senior Consort" directly after the wedding, a position at which she remained throughout his entire reign. The marriage strengthened the relations between the two dynasties. After the wedding, Abdulmejid made her sister, Şemsfer Hanım, treasurer in the imperial harem. Leyla Achba, writes in her memoirs that she was an intelligent and a well cultured lady. Charles White, who visited Istanbul in 1843, said following about her: Servetseza remained childless. After Gülcemal Kadın's death in 1851, her children, Fatma Sultan, Refia Sultan and Şehzade Mehmed Reşad (future Mehmed V) were entrusted in her care. She had asked Abdulmejid to take the motherless children under her wing, and raise as her own, and carried out the duties of a mother who cares for her children with compassion and concern. When Bezmiâlem Sultan died in 1853, Servetseza was placed incharge of Abdulmejid's harem. Upon this occasion, Şevkefza Kadın took courage of Servetseza Kadın's affection for heir Şehzade Mehmed Murad (future Sultan Murad V) and Abdulmejid's wish to see his son as the next Sultan, and rose in opposition to Pertevniyal Sultan and her son Şehzade Abdulaziz (the future Sultan Abdulaziz). Widowhood, death and aftermath After Abdulmejid's death on 25 June 1861, and the accession of his younger brother, Sultan Abdulaziz, Servetseza settled in the Kabataş Palace. In 1872, she commissioned a fountain in the courtyard of Özbekler Tekke in Üsküdar. She was apparently very fond of Murad, and after his deposition in 1876, she indiscreetly told many people that Abdul Hamid II had usurped the throne from him. Servetseza died on 25 September 1878 at the age of fifty five, and was buried near the mausoleum of her husband at the Yavuz Selim Mosque, Istanbul. It is believed by some that she was murdered. One night in Ramadan she is said to have gone to Abdul Hamid and warned him. She ordered him to give the throne back to it to its rightful owner. After pretending to heed her warning, he arranged that she be served with a poisoned drink. She died upon her return to her palace. Servetseza had been greatly benefited from her husband, Abdulmejid, and so the processions she bequeathed amounted to a great sum in value, especially her jewels. For this reason, Abdul Hamid didn't surrendered them to Reşad, and had her jewels brought to the Yıldız Palace for safekeeping along with two large trunks of her things. However, after Abdul Hamid was deposed in 1909, all the jewels and trunks were returned to the newly enthroned Sultan Mehmed Reşad.

"Armory Show poster, 1913 The list of women artists in the Armory Show attempts to include women artists from the United States and Europe who were exhibited in the Armory Show of 1913. The show contained approximately 1300 works by 300 artists. A high proportion of the artists were women, many of whom have since been neglected. The list is largely drawn from the catalog of the 1963 exhibition, 1913 Armory Show 50th Anniversary Exhibition organized by the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute.1913 Armory Show; 50th anniversary exhibition, 1963. Organized by Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. Sponsored by the Henry Street Settlement, New York. [Utica, 1963], copyright not renewed. Library of Congress card number 63-13993. The Armory Show refers to the International Exhibition of Modern Art that was organized by the Association of American Painters and Sculptors and opened in New York City's 69th Regiment Armory, on Lexington Avenue between 25th and 26th Streets, on February 17, 1913, and ran to March 15. It became a legendary watershed date in the history of American art, introducing astonished New Yorkers, accustomed to realistic art, to modern art. The show served as a catalyst for American artists, who became more independent and created their own artistic language.
