Nel frattempo, nella vita di Berthe Morisot
Tutta la vita1890
“No man has ever treated a woman as an equal”
In 1890 Morisot writes in a notebook about her struggle to be taken seriously as an artist: she does not think there has ever been a man who treated a woman as an equal, and that is all she would have asked for, since she knows she is worth as much as they are.
1892
The first solo exhibition
In 1892, after almost two decades of showing in group exhibitions, Morisot's first solo exhibition is held.

A farewell letter to her daughter
Having caught pneumonia while nursing her daughter Julie through the same illness, Morisot dies the day after writing her a letter: she says she will love her still when dead, begs her not to cry, and tells her to work and stay as good as she has always been. Sixteen-year-old Julie is left an orphan.
