Here is what Wikipedia says about Kay Sage

Katherine Linn Sage (June 25, 1898 – January 8, 1963), usually known as Kay Sage, was an American Surrealist artist and poet active between 1936 and 1963. A member of the Golden Age and post-war periods of Surrealism, she is mostly recognized for her artistic works, which typically contain themes of an architectural nature.

Through her marriage to an Italian prince, she became princess of San Faustino in 1925, and a member of American royalty. She was also the sister-in-law of Donna Virginia Bourbon del Monte, wife of industrialist Edoardo Agnelli of the Agnelli family.

"Breton never got over the fact that Sage was a woman and therefore never fully accepted her into the Surrealist movement." This statement is barefaced nonsense. Not only did Breton publicly praise Sage, but she was included in Surrealist exhibitions. Further, the statement that Breton did not accept women artists as full-fledged Surrealists is also nonsense. I am not going to do Ms. Browne's research for her (although perhaps I should, since she seems disinclined to do intelligent, or even competent, research herself, other than regurgitating Wikipedia), but the large number of women Surrealists, from Dorothea Tanning to Toyen, is a matter of historical record.
