Roar Book by Ashley Longshore
Pop art portraits of fearless women, painted loud and proud by Ashley Longshore.
Roar!: A Collection of Mighty Women is New Orleans artist Ashley Longshore's bold, joyful salute to women who changed the world. Published by Rizzoli with an introduction by Diane von Furstenberg, the book grew out of Longshore's portrait series that was shown at the DVF flagship in New York, and it carries all the color, wit, and attitude her paintings are known for.
Inside are vivid portraits of figures such as Frida Kahlo, Maya Angelou, Marie Curie, Rosa Parks, Josephine Baker, Peggy Guggenheim, Michelle Obama, Amanda Gorman, and Cleopatra, each paired with a short piece on why she matters. Scientists, activists, artists, royals, and entertainers share the pages, making it as inspiring as it is fun to flip through. The hot pink cover is a statement all on its own.
