The Frick Pittsburgh is proud to have partnered with Style412 to create a moving, artistic response to the Victorian Radicals exhibition. 

Exploring the theme of feminist freedom, Le Mystère du Pouvoir Féminin (The Mystery of Female Power) captures the essence of Lady Godiva, who over time has become a sexual symbol, political activist and medieval myth. Godiva is often referenced as an 11th-century champion of the lower class, as legend holds that she rode naked through her town of Coventry, England in a challenge to the crippling taxes imposed by her powerful husband. Captured through art, literature, and history, her tale was a popular subject during the Victorian era. Lady Godiva inspired the work of many "Victorian Radicals" and is considered to be one herself through her commitment to justice, freedom, and equality.
