Write a short essay that has irony and paradox.

Elisabet Ney was a famous sculptor whose work can still be found inside the Texas Capitol. She grew up in Germany and was the first woman to attend Berlin University to study sculpting. Sculpting was considered a male vocation in the 1850s. To attend the school, she went on a hunger strike until her father said yes, then stormed the gates of the school until they admitted her on probation. She also secretly married a few years later. The irony lies in the fact that she rejected her son for behaving similarly.
