Where there is a woman there is magic.

—Ntozake Shange

Women are the workers, the planners, the mothers, the caregivers, the thinkers, the lovers, the creators, the foundation of our families and our friendships. We can do it all, but even we need a little help and encouragement along the way—and who better to turn to than other women?

Women’s Wisdom is an invitation to take a much-deserved mindful moment for yourself. Meditate on the inspiring words of well-known women as you color the beautiful designs of illustrator Kate Forrester.

With quotes from an amazing gathering of actors, artists, architects, scientists, singersongwriters, poets, novelists, playwrights, activists, jurists, and icons, you are sure to find just the right words to meet you where you are.

Want to fire up your imagination? “A dream can take you farther than anything.”—Anna Sui

Need to remind yourself that you’ve got this? “Who I am is what fulfills me.”—Audre Lorde

Could you use a smile? “I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time.”—Lady Gaga

Feeling grateful? “Let me drink the day.”—Edith Wharton

From Dolly Parton to Patti LaBelle, Emily Dickinson to Frida Kahlo, Michelle Obama to Malala Yousafzai, you’ll be transported and uplifted as you find your place of peace and meditation and color yourself fortified and renewed.

About the Illustrator

Kate Forrester is an illustrator and lettering specialist who lives and works by the sea in Brighton, UK. Kate’s work stands out for its striking combination of intricate hand-lettering and decorative, whimsical illustrations. Her portfolio includes a wide range of diverse international clients, from publishers to distillers, who commission her illustrations for book jackets, packaging, posters, and much more. This is her first coloring book.

When not in the studio, Kate can be found down by the beach, mucking about with her three sons, jogging, or taking an icy plunge in the cold English sea.
