"Rose O'Neill was a trailblazer, and her life is a testament to the power of perseverance in the face of impossible odds." —Kathleen Grissom, New York Times bestselling author of the The Kitchen House
Self-taught artist Rose O'Neill leaves the Midwest for New York in 1893, determined to become an illustrator in a field dominated by males. Mindful of her duty to the impoverished family she left behind, Rose’s obligations require her to yield to the men who hold the reins of her career; as well as the men she grows to love.
Yet despite every obstacle facing her, she excels at her craft, eventually designing a new character, the Kewpie. Her creation explodes into a phenomenon, but Rose’s disenchantment with the status quo fosters new ambitions. She must decide whether to remain within the boundaries dictated for her, or risk everything she’s gained to pursue the creative and personal passions that ignite her soul.
With grit and tenacity, Rose O'Neill blazed a never to be forgotten path as artist, writer, suffragist, and philanthropist during the turbulent times of the early 20th century.
