For those who don't know of this fictional heroine, please ask. For those who do, I took artistic license in giving her the red hair of the hero of the other great book from which I took inspiration for this painting, "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand.
My apologies for the very poor photo of this painting I had to work with.
Quotes from "Atlas Shrugged":
"Dagny Taggart was nine years old when she decided that she would run the Taggart Transcontinental Railroad some day. She stated it to herself when she stood alone between the rails, looking at the two straight lines of steel that went off into the distance and met in a single point...The two steel lines were brilliant in the sun, and the black ties were like the rungs of a ladder....
"She started as night operator at a small country station. She had to work nights for the first few years, while attending a college of engineering."
p. 50, 60 (HB)

I'm not offended or anything. Just want to keep up with the narrative. To me it looks like Dagny is topless. Wondering if there is any particular reason~??? Symbolic Language & all. Thanks~!!!
