Very interesting insight into the lifes of the females artists, trailblazers and women or the Beat generation, who often are not credited enough or at all and mostly appear as attachments to their fathers, husbands, boyfriends etc. in other writing.

Some true gems in here and I really enjoyed the variety of sample writings for each artist. However, I would have enjoyed the biographies and the artwork more if there was even more focus paid to the women unrelated to the men because several women were portrayed in this collection with half their biography or sample writing being focused on one of the great male Beat writers - Jack Kerouac I`m looking at you...

Super excited to follow up on some of the amazing artists I discovered through this selection and would recommend it as a starting point for anyone interested in getting more into Beat literature off of the obvious path.
