Yes, in 1868, Mary Cassat's art was accepted by the Paris salon. Based on the time, Mary had to fight against the discouragement she received while trying to get art training. She came from a prominent Pennsylvania family, and women of her class and status were supposed to marry and raise a family. As a result, a career in art was frowned upon.
