The Power of Her Paintbrush: The Story of Theresa Bernstein (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798765643273)

Theresa Bernstein discovered her love for art at age seven when she drew her first portrait. As a teenager, her photographic memory and sketching skills earned her recognition in art school. After moving to New York, Theresa faced sexism in the art world but persevered. Using the name "T. Bernstein" to hide her gender, she gained attention for her work. Challenging societal norms, she painted real-life women at a time when female artists were largely ignored. Despite discrimination due to her gender and Jewish faith, Theresa secured solo exhibitions and sold her works. She continued creating art into her 100s, leaving a lasting mark on the art world.
