I'm Not Your Muse

“Zimmer revives the reputations of dozens of interesting women … illustrated by Krasinski, the volume attests to women’s laudable talents and achievements. An entertaining homage.”–Kirkus
“The decorative book design and colorful, folksy illustrations provide a light backdrop to the serious purpose of this volume–profiling important creative women whose contributions have been ignored or dismissed by a society more attentive to the contributions of men. Author Zimmer and illustrator Krasinski have collaborated once again (after Art Hiding in New York) in this accessible and inviting book….a delightful touching off point that is sure to pique curiosity and initiate a deeper dive by readers.”–Library Journal
