She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name. But Rome in 1610 was a city where men took what they wanted from women, and in the aftermath of rape, Artemisia faced another terrible choice: a life of silence or a life of truth, no matter the cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJoy McCullough's bold novel in verse is a portrait of an artist as a young woman, filled with the soaring highs of creative inspiration and the devastating setbacks of a system built to break her. McCullough weaves Artemisia's heartbreaking story with those of ancient heroines Susanna and Judith, who become not only the subjects of two of Artemisia's most famous paintings, but also sources of strength as she battles to paint a woman's timeless truth in the face of unspeakable and all-too-familiar violence.","brand":"Penguin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43380510261503,"sku":"9780735232136","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780735232136_s600x595.jpg?v=1775589133","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780735232136","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
