Barbara Blackman's memoirs and letters are fascinating and a favourite of mine. Her former husband was a great artist 🎨

Been meaning to buy this book for a while. The first thing I did on my free day in Byron Bay was visit The Book Room book shop and buy it along with some stationery of course. I‘d already got going early to get some delicious food from the Byron Bay Farmer‘s Market hence the strawberry cup cake. I thought it odd that the air bnb host hadn‘t put milk in the fridge for me so I had to get some of that too. I picked this accomodation primarily for 🛀
This book tells the essential story of 10 women, each of whom ‘made her way out of the shadows of famous men of Surrealist art, stepping down from the muse‘s pedestal to claim her own identity‘.
