Enchanting, witty, and illuminating. I picked up a (signed!) hardback copy of this text from Green Apple Books in San Francisco for only $12 without knowing the blessing it would prove to be. (It had initially caught my eye in the Art Institute of Chicago's gift shop, but I never bought it.) If you want a relatively quick, engaging read that elevates the lives of fifteen women often tragically overlooked in the history of art, please read! It is some of the liveliest non-fiction I've ever read, accompanied by beautiful illustrations of each woman. *insert Jo March's passionate speech about women having minds and souls as well as just hearts from Little Women (2019) here*
