Leonora Jackson McKim (born Leonora Jackson, February 20, 1879, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States;[1] died January 7, 1969, in Baltimore, Maryland, United States) was one of the first American women to achieve international acclaim as a concert violinist,[2] and was credited with improving the perception of American artists in Europe: "Leonora Jackson was the first American violinist whom European opinions recognized to equal any of its great artists and who conquered all prejudice as to the supposed inferiority of American talent."[3]
