It places the spotlight on women painters, sculptors, printmakers, illustrators, designers and craftswomen, who all too often are left out of history and art history books for children.
Following in the wake of the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls phenomenon, We Are Artists is aimed at inspiring young readers and aspiring artists, no matter what their gender, to find their own unique way of making a contribution to the world.
The scope and range of racial diversity and artistic formats is impressive... An inspiring look at revolutionary women and their creativity. This engaging introduction to the art and lives of 15 women active in the 20th century spans cultures, continents, and mediums... The clear, informative prose is sensitive and forthright about challenges the women faced... Page by page, these stories coalesce into a rich portrait showing women around the world making art against the odds.
Kari Herbert, explorer Sir Wally Herbert's daughter, is the author of The Explorer's Daughter, In Search of the South Pole and Heart of the Hero.
