Belle Armstrong Whitney (September 27, 1861 – August 1922), who also used the pen name Dinah Sturgis,[1] was an American writer and "fashion expert",[2] based in Paris. Early lifeBelle Armstrong was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the daughter of Thomas Ainsley Armstrong and Sarah Sophia Armstrong.[3] CareerWhitney lectured[4] and wrote books on fashion, including Suggestions to Dressmakers, and What to Wear: A Book for Women (1916). She discussed the fashion industry's responses to wartime conditions in France during World War I,[5] and to the changing role of women in the 1910s, declaring that "Women now wish to take a more important place in the scheme of modern life, yet they cling to many of their shackles of dress."[6] She especially admired the designs of Mariano Fortuny, for their combination of practicality and artistry.[7] She held a fashion show in New York in 1915, which was considered somewhat risqué; "men in the audience not with their wives" were asked to leave quietly if they wished, before the lingerie portion.[8] As a director of the Whitney-Richards Galleries in New York, Whitney collected, exhibited and spoke on French poster art during World War I.[9] Whitney was also Foreign Secretary of the Surgical War Dressings committee of the American Red Cross,[9] and lectured in the United States to raise funds for French war relief.[10] She was recognized by the French government for her service, as a Knight in the Order of the Legion of Honour.[11] Personal lifeBelle Armstrong married Charles Alvano Whitney, a medical doctor, in 1885. They had a son, Lloyd Whitney, born in 1888. Belle Armstrong Whitney was a widow[12] when she died at Meudon in 1922, aged 61 years, from heart disease.[11][13] References1. ^Barbara Babcock, [https://books.google.com/books?id=UjiLsEyHOsoC&lpg=PT213&ots=sVYG9ffmTy&dq=Dinah%20Sturgis&pg=PT213#v=onepage&q=Dinah%20Sturgis&f=false Woman Lawyer: The Trials of Clara Foltz] (Stanford University Press 2011): 195. {{ISBN|9780804743587}} 2. ^[https://books.google.com/books?id=KtMRAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA251&ots=-2dWH-2KUW&dq=Belle%20Armstrong%20Whitney%201918&pg=PA251#v=onepage&q=Belle%20Armstrong%20Whitney%201918&f=false "The Women's Apparel Unit of the Women's Overseas Hospitals, U.
