About this title

Review:

What is about this former debutante that caught the attention of Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi? What caused them to sit still for more than ten minutes as she performed her magic with a paintbrush?

This outstanding account introduces us to the fascinating people - famous and infamous - whose portraits Patricia Hill Burnett brought to life. She delves into her own life as an early pioneer in the women's movement and the prominent role she played in it. She explains the movement's initial goals, the obstacles it faced, and its importance to future women. She even addresses the problems and joys of reaching the "golden years," and describes new ways of dealing with growing old.

In addition to her inspiring message, Patricia Hill Burnett's True Colors includes a sixteen-page look at her collection of distinguished paintings. Biography of Patricia Hill Burnett, one of the country's leading portrait painters and feminist.
