Astonishing Women Artists

A Women's Hall of Fame Series book

by: Heather Ball

Reflections of the world through the eyes of creative trailblazers The newest addition to the acclaimed Women's Hall of Fame series 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.

Praise for Heather Ball: "Ball condenses a great deal of information into these short, accessible biographies.” - Quill and Quire
