THIS portrait of Mrs. James Guthrie by the Victorian artist Lord Frederick Leighton comes by way of the website British Paintings. This is is the sort of woman Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg would condemn for not leaning into her career. But then she was a victim of her times, held in a prison, awaiting liberation by the suffragettes and their fellow revolutionaries. Mrs. Guthrie was insufficiently self-actualized.
