Purchase options and add-ons

An artist and activist committed to the empowerment of women and girls has created a gorgeous illustrated volume, blending watercolor and short biography to showcase the contributions of more than fifty influential female leaders whose words and actions are a passionate call to arms.

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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Kimothy’s illustrations are some of The Huffington Post’s most successful graphics to date. They consistently engage our audiences in conversations about intersectional feminism, legacy and resistance.” — Savannah O’Leary, Multimedia Producer, The Huffington Post

“Kimothy’s illustrations are a beautiful addition to The Huffington Post’s Women’s History Month campaign because she presents these historic women in such an artistic and unique way. The beautiful portraits paired with these groundbreaking women’s words have been shared widely by the Huffington Post audience.” — Alanna Vagianos, Editor, Huffpost Women

“A stunning book that celebrates a diverse group of inspirational women, from Maya Angelou to Malala Yousafzai. The book features illustrations and quotes with illuminating biographies to inspire women of all ages and backgrounds.” — Hello Sunshine

“[Joy’s] work combines art and insight in the same tradition as Kalman’s. I reach for That’s What She Said whenever I’m looking to feel re-energized in the fight for women’s issues.” — Alexandra Sacks, for TED’s Winter Reading List

From the Back Cover

A gorgeous collection of watercolor portraits and inspirational quotes that celebrate a diverse group of influential women and serve as a passionate call to find and raise our voices

In the wake of the 2016 election, artist and activist Kimothy Joy found herself poring over the biographies of brave women throughout history. Day after day she researched women who persisted in the face of daunting circumstances, gaining wisdom and perspective from their experiences.

Channeling her feelings through paintbrush and canvas, Joy began painting portraits of these strong women, bringing them to life in bold watercolors framed by inspirational hand-lettered quotes. As she mused over the power of each woman’s words, she found solace and hope—and felt compelled to share their stories.

Now, in this beautiful gift book, Joy has paired these illustrations and quotes with surprising, illuminating biographies to inspire women of all ages and backgrounds. That’s What She Said honors a powerful and diverse group of more than 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.

Visually BEAUTIFUL but also extremely INFORMATIVE
I’m 74 years old and only heard the names and knew the stories of 28 women honored in this 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. I’m now a fan and just started reading your latest last night.

I couldn't wait to see this book in person. Kimothy Joy is an amazing illustrator and artist, and she previewed some of the drawings on her instragram page, so it was thrilling to finally be able to see the book up close and personal.

Kimothy Joy is truly inspirational in every sense of the word. She captures the essence of the women she draws perfectly and marvelously. I can't give her high enough praise and thanks. I am thrilled with every page of the book. I've purchased numerous items from her website - tote bags, journals, cards, and have given many as gifts. They are always received with gratitude and enthusiasm.

Buy this book for yourself, and some copies for the women in your life who inspire and love you. PLEASE support this amazing artist as she continues to uplift, inspire, and educate new generations of women.

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!

Loving having my own personal book of Kimothy Joys illustrations. Loved her work for quite a while. It always reminds and resonates the great wisdom from many wise words created by so many beautifully strong souls. This book specifically has “wise words from inspirational women.” It even includes a blank space for an exceptional woman to add from your personal life. I love it. My boys love it and are quoting from it. I’ve gifted it to friends daughters as well as these words lift every woman’s journey. Very beautiful and inspiring.
