Pamela Colman Smith, a British artist. Who, I have just learned, was actually not a woman of color. Despite her spending a lot of time in Jamaica, writing books on Jamaican folklore, and even adopting the dress and mannerisms of a Jamaican...she was actually European. Kids these days would call that "problematic".

However, she never married or had children, and she lived with a female best friend, so I think the odds are very good that she was either a lesbian or asexual.

Thank you for jumping to the defence of a deceased person for a potential disparagement another dead person made based on an intrinsic attribute we cannot confirm.
