Distraught by the results of the 2016 election and the realization that the nation was not ready for its first female president, Kimothy Joy found herself poring over the biographies of brave women throughout history—those who persisted in the face of daunting circumstances—to learn from their experiences. Turning to art, Joy channeled her feelings to the canvas, bringing these strong women to life in bold watercolor portraits surrounded by inspirational hand-lettered quotes. With each creation, Joy found catharsis and hope. She shared her watercolors with her online community and encouraged everyone to raise their own voices and recharge for the battles ahead. Now, in this beautiful gift book, Joy has gathered her stunning illustrations and quotes and paired them with surprising, illuminating biographies of her subjects to inspire women of all ages, races, and backgrounds. That’s What She Said honors a powerful and diverse group of over fifty women—from Maya Angelou, Gloria Steinem, and Virginia Woolf to Sojourner Truth, Malala Yousafzai, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg—role models whose words and insights remind us that we must never give up the fight for a more just and equitable society. Reclaiming the derogatory cultural barb "that’s what she said," this stunning book celebrates strong female leadership throughout history and empowers current and future generations to find their voices and inspire change in their communities. Review: Great Women - Great Quotes! & mini bio - This is an awesome book! One page mini bio about so many notable women. On the opposite page a sketch of the woman and a cutesy script of some famous line from here. These are very quotable quotes. Some are inspirational. Some are amazingly appropriate for this time and social conditions. Its a great read for spare moments or to share with children, especially teens. Reading one mini-bio and great quote could lead to a wonderful conversation with anyone. I highly recommend this book! Review: Wonderful book and great gift - I bought 3 of these books. One for myself and two as gifts. They. Are. Beautiful. Those I purchased them for went on to buy additional copies to gift to other females. The book has gold on the outside making it a good choice for a coffee table. In addition the illustrations are unmatched touched with a bit of history on each carefully selected woman from history. I gave one to my grandmother and my 9 year old niece. A great way to inspire the women in your life at any age! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #89,059 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #28 in Quotation Reference Books #202 in Women in History #699 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,228 Reviews | ## Images ![That's What She Said: Wise Words from Influential Women - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Vf48-6kwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Women - Great Quotes! & mini bio *by K***L on February 28, 2021* This is an awesome book!

Reading all of their stories were both teaching and learning experiences for me. Kimothy Joy, thanks for sending me the book after our conversation on the flight. Continue the mission of educating not only women but the world.
