You will learn about artists and activists, rulers and rebels.” \u003cb\u003e—\u003c\/b\u003eRoxane Gay, from the Foreword\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eOriginal Sisters \u003c\/i\u003ewas born from the COVID-19 quarantine. In early March 2020, locked down in her home-studio in Toronto and longing for inspiration, artist Anita Kunz started researching women on the Internet. She wasn’t sure what she was looking for, but she soon found an array of astonishing people who had done amazing things—some of whom she had heard of, but most of whom she had not. And then she began to paint their pictures and write down their stories. The result is a jaw-dropping feat of historic and artistic research. The wide variety of lives, occupations, time periods, and achievements is absolutely mind-bending.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e From Joan of Arc to Josephine Baker, from Hippolyta to Greta Thunberg, from Anne Frank to Misty Copeland: these women made and changed history. But there are just as many whom you’ve never heard of, who were never recognized in their lifetimes, whose achievements need to be brought to light. They include the anti-Nazi activist Sophie Scholl, who was executed at age twenty-one by the Third Reich, and Alice Ball, a young African American scientist who discovered a treatment for leprosy but died tragically before she could receive credit for it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is not only a breathtaking art book. \u003ci\u003eOriginal Sisters \u003c\/i\u003ealso recounts a secret history that must be told so that it is a secret no more.\u003ci\u003eReclaiming Original Sisters\u003c\/i\u003e by Roxane Gay.... x\u003cbr\u003e

I have a deep appreciation and admiration for how this book came to be: out of your searching, out of your desire to learn about and know these lives more deeply. Thank you for painting these extraordinary women, for portraying their individuality, strength, determination, courage, perseverance, and their particular beauty. I’ve spent the past twenty-three years of my career playing a kick-ass woman on TV: Kick-ass women are all around us and this book is a beautiful, unforgettable reminder. I loved spending time with this sisterhood.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e —Mariska Hargitay\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Anita Kunz reminds us that women’s history is the world’s history. She reminds us that much of the culture we take for granted exists by the grace of women’s ingenuity.
