In this travel memoir a forty-something woman leaves her job and home to follow the footsteps of ten historic women across Japan, Kenya and Italy. The narrative blends personal travelogue with concise biographies and on-site art and museum discoveries.

Journeys to East Africa evoke the world of Karen Blixen; time in Japan explores the life and work of Yayoi Kusama; and Italian museum visits uncover Renaissance painters such as Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana and Artemisia Gentileschi.

Readers interested in women's history, art, and honest reflection on identity and creativity will find a lyrical, genre-crossing account of how past lives can inspire present change.
