That's What She Said: Wise Words from Influential Women Hardcover – Illustrated, April 3, 2018
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.

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.
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!
