Lives of Artemisia Gentileschi presents a fascinating look at the
famous Baroque artist. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) was an
Italian painter known for the naturalism with which she depicted
the female body and her use of rich colours and chiaroscuro. Born
in Rome, she was trained by her father, the painter Orazio
Gentileschi, and was working professionally by the time she was a
teenager. In a period when women artists very rarely achieved
success in their field, she was commissioned by royalty across
Europe and was the first woman to become a member of Florence's
prestigious Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, later becoming an
educator in the arts. Lending further insight into the
extraordinary life of this trailblazing artist, this volume
presents an absorbing collection of letters, biographies, and court
testimonies supplemented with essays written by contemporaries,
several of which are published here in English for the first time.
The vivid illustrations include three works that have only recently
been attributed to Gentileschi. An introduction by Sheila Barker,
founding director of the Jane Fortune Research Program on Women
Artists, contextualises these texts and discusses Gentileschi's
legacy.
Barb Cook and 14 other autistic women describe life from a female
autistic perspective, and present empowering, helpful and
supportive insights from their personal experience for fellow
autistic women. Michelle Garnett's comments validate and expand the
experiences described from a clinician's perspective, and provide
extensive recommendations. Autistic advocates including Liane
Holliday Willey, Anita Lesko, Jeanette Purkis, Artemisia and
Samantha Craft offer their personal guidance on significant issues
that particularly affect women, as well as those that are more
general to autism. Contributors cover issues including growing up,
identity, diversity, parenting, independence and self-care amongst
many others. With great contributions from exceptional women, this
is a truly well-rounded collection of knowledge and sage advice for
any woman with autism.
This ground-breaking book about sexuality speaks to women on the
autism spectrum in fresh new ways, opening doors to discussion, and
blowing the lid off taboo subjects. One of the many problems women
on the spectrum face is not always understanding how relationships
and boundaries work for other people. This book provides answers,
plus more that they may not even have thought to ask. Covering one
night stands, the importance of safe sex, self-respect, and double
standards, there is a wealth of information about the ethics and
self-understanding involved in relationships. Written with humour
and honesty, this is the go-to guide for sex on the spectrum.
