Abastenia St. Leger Eberle (April 6, 1878 – February 26, 1942)[1] was an American sculptor known for her energetic, small bronze sculptures depicting poor immigrants on New York's City's Lower East Side. As an artist, Eberle had strong beliefs and felt a need for artists to create politically and socially conscious works of art that reflected contemporary issues. Eberle spent much of her life working toward equal rights for American women and a widespread push for equality.[2] Her most famous piece, The White Slave, representing child prostitution, caused controversy when exhibited at the 1913 Armory Show.[3]
