Blood, Water, Paint retells the true story of Artemisia Gentileschi, a female painting prodigy in the 16thcentury. The book follows her frustrations in a male-dominated society – the injustices of her father, her painting “tutor,” and an incredibly sexist court system.

Artemisia Gentileschi was an amazing woman, who endured innumerable struggles fighting for nothing more than justice – not to mention one of the finest painters of the Baroque era. Her work was largely undiscovered until the late 20thcentury, when her paintings were finally shown. The feminist themes in her paintings made her an icon within the movement (as well as the more modern #MeToo movement) and her name continues to hold those connotations today.

Highly recommended.
