‘After returning to England, her health recovered sufficiently by the mid-1920s to enable her to resume her career. Williams visited the USA at least twice between 1926 and 1928, and may have spent some time in America. She seems never to have fully regained her early success.’ – Cyfieithwyd o ‘Lucy Gwendolen Williams’, Mapping the Practice and Profession of Sculpture in Britain and Ireland 1851-1951, 2011 – https://sculpture.gla.ac.uk/mapping/public/view/
