Born in 1878 in San Francisco, this woman studied ballet as a child and moved to Chicago where she met the theatrical producer Augustin Daly. She danced with Daly's company for several years before traveling to Europe, where she was influenced by Renaissance art and the music of Chopin and Beethoven. Returning to the United States in 1908, she helped raise modern dance to the status of "high art". For ten points, name this woman, whose life was cut tragically short in 1927 when she suffocated when her scarf got caught in the rear wheel of an automobile.
