For ages 9 to 13 years. This book profiles ten phenomenal women with a passion for art. Political, beautiful, and always springing from the heart, the paintings and sculptures of these creative trailblazers have made the world a better place, and encouraged generations of female artists to do the same. Discover the lives of women artists from the 16th century to the present day, such as the early feminist Artemisia Gentileschi, the adventurous Emily Carr, the flamboyant Frida Kahlo, and the brilliant Georgia O’Keeffe. These biographies are written in an accessible, engaging, and entertaining style that will inspire young readers to have the courage to explore their own creative sides.
Introduction; Artemisia Gentileschi; Elizabeth Louise Vigee Le Brun; Georgia O'Keeffe; Louise Nevelson; Frida Kahlo; Elizabeth Catlett; Kenojuak Ashevak; Faith Ringgold; Mary Pratt.
