Bad Girl Bookclub: The Passion of Artemisia | Jan. (BG22-21)

Join this new evening women's book club! And no, you don’t have to be a "bad girl" to join the group. This group will focus on books with female authors and unique female protagonists.  In depth and honest opinions are encouraged.  You don’t even have to finish the book to join in on this fun book discussion group. Indulgent beverages and desserts will be served, and bad girl attire encouraged! 

The Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland

Monday, January 9

6:00 pm–8:00 pm

Facilitator: Lisa Alexander

IDPH and CDC face mask guidelines will be observed.

From extraordinary highs — patronage by the Medicis, friendship with Galileo and, most importantly of all, beautiful and outstandingly original paintings — to rape by her father's colleague, torture by the Inquisition, life-long struggles for acceptance by the artistic Establishment, and betrayal by the men she loved, Artemisia was a bold and brilliant woman who lived as she wanted, and paid a high price.

This is one of my top ten faves! You are guaranteed to learn some thing while reading this book. It will make for a fascinating discussion.
