• Radclyffe Hall (left) and Una Troubridge (both British). Lived and traveled together most of their adult lives, until Hall’s death in 1943. Hall was a wealthy author, noted for The Well of Loneliness (1928), a partly autobiographical novel. She was decorated for valor as an ambulance driver in World War I. Both women were well known in cultural salons of the time, including that of Romaine Brooks, an American-born Parisian portraitist who later painted Lady Troubridge.
