Bad Girls Throughout History: 100 Remarkable Women Who Changed the World and MOMENTARY: The Art of Ilya Kuvshinov


Aphra Behn, first female professional writer. Sojourner Truth, activist and abolitionist. Ada Lovelace, first computer programmer. Marie Curie, first woman to win the Nobel Prize. Joan Jett, godmother of punk. The 100 revolutionary women highlighted in this gorgeously illustrated book were bad in the best sense of the word: they challenged the status quo and changed the rules for all who followed. From pirates to artists, warriors, daredevils, scientists, activists, and spies, the accomplishments of these incredible women vary as much as the eras and places in which they effected change. Featuring bold watercolor portraits and illuminating essays by Ann Shen, Bad Girls Throughout History is a distinctive, gift-worthy tribute.

Review 
"This Is Some Of The Best Anime Styled Character Art You Will Ever See....The reason why Kuvshinov’s work is so highly regarded in Japan is that his style is pristine in the extreme. With partial undertones of Kazuma Kaneko in places, he draws his figures with almost photo-real precision." (Ollie Barder Forbes)

"Ilya Kuvshinov has been creating his own unique brand of manga-influenced illustrations with both a photographer's and a cinematographer's touch." (DJ PANGBURN Creators by VICE Media)
