ITALIAN PRAISE:
“I am a huge fan of many of the women in this great book, such as Karen Blixen, Frida Kahlo, Isabella Bird, Artemisia Gentileschi, Sofonisba Anguissola. Those women have had incredible and inspiring lives and Mia Kankimäki has the ability to tell us all about it in a very captivating and endearing way. And I love how this book combines the stories about all these fantastic women, with a personal memoir I think many of us can relate to and a reportage of her travels many of us would wish to be able to undertake.”
– Sabine Schultz, Editor, Neri Pozza, Italy

About the book:

Have you heard about Isabella Bird, Mary Kingsley, or Nellie Bly? What about Karen Blixen? The Women I Think About at Night  follows the footsteps of 10 historical women, who did what was impossible for women to do in their own times: travel the world or create career as an artist. And these women were quite successful: some of them actually became celebrities of their own time! So why have they been forgotten from the history books? Mia Kankimäki, a Finnish writer, sold her house, packed her suitcase and traveled the world to find out.

Part biography, part travelogue, this book takes you from Karen Blixen’s farm to the forbidden city of Tibet to modern-day Japan.
Warning: may cause strong case of wanderlust!
