@rachkmc CROSSED by Nicole Galland, SALT THE SNOW by Carrie Callaghan, all of Gwendolyn Womack's books, A FINE IMITATION by Amber Brock, really anything by Vanora Bennett. I also feel like not enough people have read my all-time favorite book, THE ROSSETTI LETTER by Christi Phillips.

"A Light of Her Own, as a portrait of two brave and ambitious Dutch women painters, and a glimpse into 17th century life in Holland, is recommended to all fans of historical fiction." -- New York Journal of Books
"Callaghan skillfully balances both the intricacies of the 17th-century Dutch art world and the religious persecution of the time, making this a dextrously woven and engrossing historical novel." -- Publisher's Weekly
"Fans of Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring (2000) will enjoy this darker, grittier peek into the history of Dutch art and the struggles of women within that world." -- Booklist
"Sensory details evoke the light, the feel, and the smell of the setting... a riveting fictionalized account of Judith Leyster." -- Foreword Reviews
"Though most of Leyster's life beyond her painting has been lost to history, Carrie Callaghan, in her debut novel, A Light of Her Own, has brilliantly re-imagined this woman who dared to believe herself the equal of her male Artists' Guild co-members." --Washington Independent Review of Books
"Judith Leyster is a fascinating, under-appreciated figure in the history of art, and Carrie Callaghan brings her to life in rich, illuminating, engrossing detail." -- David Ebershoff, author of The Danish Girl and The 19th Wife
