In 1884, twenty-three-year-old Corabelle Fellows left her family in Washington, DC, and journeyed out West to teach Native children in Nebraska and Dakota Territory. She hoped her missionary work would improve the lives of the Dakota and Lakota Sioux people by helping them assimilate into white culture, following the predominant government policy at the time. But after years of living among the Native people, it was Cora’s perceptions of life, love, and faith that were transformed. It began with her friendship with Elizabeth Winyan, a remarkable Dakota woman who was a model of strength, compassion, and adaptability among her people. Winyan became a maternal figure for Cora in the strange land so far from the “civilized” city. She even saved Cora from being married against her will. Then Cora met Sam Campbell, a man from Scottish and Sioux stock. They fell in love and were married, though the match made national headlines after Cora’s family disowned her. The couple struggled to find a place in the American frontier, straddling two worlds. For years their marriage was grist for the yellow press, and they became a sensational national story that led them to a brief stint as a sideshow attraction for traveling exhibitions and dime museums to support themselves. They would never live happily ever after, and the couple was plagued by racist rhetoric and sexist slander even after their divorce. Life Painted Red details Cora’s experiences from her Washington, DC, exodus to her years living among the Sioux, and her scandalous, short-lived marriage to Sam Campbell.

This book did not start as a book. It started as a sketchbook from THE SKETCHBOOK PROJECT 2011, for the Brooklyn Art Library in New York. To participate in the project, I had to complete and mail the sketchbook by January 15, 2011. It was November 2010. My topic was: Outside-Inside, and I could do anything I wanted with it. So I decided to paint the story of my life. I planned the paintings carefully, according to the period of my life, deciding to do the first part, farther away in time, in watercolor, due to the softness of its hue. The second and third parts I did in acrylics, brighter colors provided more immediacy. I also decided to give the second part a shift, painting and writing diagonally on the pages, to emphasize the mental shift my family had to go through when we started our new life in the USA. I researched old family photos, letters, documents, my life journals, my mother's poems, and I painted day and night for several weeks. Each painting is symbolic in that it represents not only a geographical place or feature in Argentina, California, or France, but also my feelings during that period of my life. All the hand-writing was done in ink, with an old fashioned plume, like the ones I used at school in Argentina. The first part I just had to write in Spanish, then translating it all to English. The third part has some phrases in French which are also translated to English. My mother's poem: Primavera, about the Spring of life, I did not translate. When I held the finished sketchbook in my hands, a few days before the mailing date, I did not want to part with it. I had invested so much of my heart and soul in it, and so many hours of my painting life on it, I didn't know what to do. Finally, I scanned the sketchbook, and mailed the original, keeping the digital version. My original sketchbook is touring Art museums and galleries throughout the United States in 2011, and will become part of the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Art Library in New York, at the end of the year 2011. The scanned version became this book.

"Haunting ... teems with raw emotion, and McCullough deftly captures the experience of learning to behave in a male-driven society and then breaking outside of it."—The New Yorker "I will be haunted and empowered by Artemisia Gentileschi's story for the rest of my life."—Amanda Lovelace, bestselling author of the princess saves herself in this one A William C. Morris Debut Award Finalist 2018 National Book Award Longlist Her mother died when she was twelve, and suddenly Artemisia Gentileschi had a stark choice: a life as a nun in a convent or a life grinding pigment for her father's paint. She chose paint. By the time she was seventeen, Artemisia did more than grind pigment. She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name. But Rome in 1610 was a city where men took what they wanted from women, and in the aftermath of rape Artemisia faced another terrible choice: a life of silence or a life of truth, no matter the cost. He will not consume my every thought. I am a painter. I will paint. Joy McCullough's bold novel in verse is a portrait of an artist as a young woman, filled with the soaring highs of creative inspiration and the devastating setbacks of a system built to break her. McCullough weaves Artemisia's heartbreaking story with the stories of the ancient heroines, Susanna and Judith, who become not only the subjects of two of Artemisia's most famous paintings but sources of strength as she battles to paint a woman's timeless truth in the face of unspeakable and all-too-familiar violence. I will show you what a woman can do. ★"A captivating and impressive."—Booklist, starred review ★"Belongs on every YA shelf."—SLJ, starred review ★"Haunting."—Publishers Weekly, starred review ★"Luminous."—Shelf Awareness, starred review
