Sketch

I’m happy to draw a little black-and-white sketch in your book – just nothing too complex, please! Think as much as you’d be able to fit onto a post-it note with a pen. If you’d like that, describe what you’d like to be sketched! (write “no sketch” if you don’t want anything; write “artist’s choice” to leave it up to me. if you want something very specific that requires photo reference, email it to store@rejectedprincesses.com… again, about the size of a post-it note, and nothing too crazy complex…!)

Description

The second volume of Rejected Princesses is here! And this time, it’s all about moms.

Buying the book through this site will get you an exclusive alternate cover dust jacket with a “molotov baby bottle” design, and a Tough Mothers bookmark.

Mothers possess the “maternal instinct”—an innate fierceness that drives them to nurture, safeguard, fight, and sacrifice for the most important things that matter to them. For some mothers, it’s their children. For others, it’s artistic expression, invention, social cause, or even a nation that they helped to birth. In concise, deeply researched vignettes, accompanied by charming illustrations, this book illuminates 50 fearsome women, explores their lives, and pays tribute to their accomplishments. Here are famous women as well as lesser known figures from around the globe who have left their indelible mark as they changed the course of history, including:

  • The Mother Who Sued to Save Her Children from Slavery—Sojourner Truth
  • The Mother of Rock n’ Roll—Sister Rosetta Tharpe
  • The Mother of Holocaust Children—Irena Sendler
  • The Mothers of The Dominican Republic—The Mirabal Sisters
  • The Mother of Yemen’s Golden Age—Arwa al-Sulayhi
