Information not complate[edit]

I'm confused. I edited this info because it is very disjointed and missing a lot of info. Then I get a message from someone telling me I am a conflict of interest. This is my grandmother - who would know better where she lived and where she died? This is NOT correct. And who the heck are Women in Red? My opinion of Wikipedia just changed. 72.92.38.200 (talk) 17:56, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Hattie Louise Longstreet Price was born in Germantown, Philadelphia Pennsylvania July 17, 1892.

Later, she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. There she studied under Henry McCarter with fellow students Violet Oakley and Daniel Garber. In 1907, at the age of 18, she was awarded the William Emlen Cresson Memorial Travel Scholarship from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Allowing her to travel to study at the Louvre in Paris and Florence, Italy.
