This book features the life stories of four women artists - Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Alice Neel and Faith Ringgold. Each of them surmounted great odds including illness, betrayal, discouragement and poverty. But they continued to create works of art, and eventually became well-known.
There are many pictures of the artists and their art througout the book, and these photographs help trace their growth as artists. I wish there was some more information about the medium that the artist worked in to create these pictures.
This book is a good read overall, especially for women, and young girls aspiring to careers in art. But its appeal is much wider, and anyone can draw inspiration from these stories.
