One of The New York Public Library's first blog posts for Women's History Month featured Genevieve Oswald, the founding curator of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division, and her career-long fight to create and grow what is now the world's largest dance collection. In her honor we bring you a coloring book of similarly courageous and tenacious women dancers to close out the month. All of these women fought to make dances, many at a time when dance was considered morally suspicious, and certainly no art form, and many in spite of the racism they experienced or witnessed.
