    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Betty G. Miller, who signed many of her later paintings “Bettigee,” was a lesbian at a time when it was not just unaccepted, but illegal. Despite knowing since childhood that she was attracted to women, Miller did almost no artwork expressing her feelings or experience with being <br />
gay. Instead, she is best known for expressing her deaf experience. The second half of the 20th Century was a period of transition in which society became more accepting of homosexuality, and Betty began to relax and feel more free. She had a &quot;commitment ceremony&quot; in February 1988 with Nancy Creighton when gay weddings were not yet legal. She died in December 2012, just a few months before same-sex marriage became legal in America. ]]></dcterms:abstract>
