Not much to say about Olivia Ward. She was one of the Cooper Union group of students. She was primarily a sculptor. She hung out with Helena and the group of girl students at Cooper Union. She was Maria Oakey Dewing’s cousin. There are records showing that she had pieces chosen for the National Academy of Design annual show off and on over the years. We see that back of her head here.
The O.W. of Helen Hunt Jackson’s poem in the novel praising Helena is Olivia.
