Eutropia and Hélène Gregoroffsky Fisher are the "bookends" of The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project.
Eutropia because she's the mother of Maxentius whose circus is the inspiration of Piranesi's Ancient Circuses, and Eutropia because she troped ancient circuses into Circus Martyriums.
Hélène Gregoroffsky Fisher because she came to America via Philadelphia and brought her version of a first modern woman with her.
And, because there's also a woman at the exact center of Piranesi's final project, Laura Piranesi.
