Karolina Dzimira-Zarzycka takes us on an extraordinary journey through the studios of thirteen Polish female artists, such as Anna Bilińska, Olga Boznańska or Maria Dulębianka. The author sketches a broader portrait of the era, telling about various aspects of creative work, sharing anecdotes and little-known stories. We learn about a menagerie in Rosa Bonheur's studio near Paris, a charming sculpture studio of Harriet Hosmer in Rome, and the opulent residences of Vilma Lwoff-Parlaghy in Berlin and New York.

This book is a story about the difficulties faced by women in a patriarchal world who wanted to create, but also about emancipation and the power of artistic independence. The author allows us to peek into the places where each work begins, where you can smell turpentine and where extraordinary stories are born among easels, canvases and brushes.

A Room of One's Own is not only a story about specific studios, but above all about great creators - determined and courageous, who often paid a high, unfair price for the realization of their dreams. It is a colorful, rich in sources and anecdotes book that allows us to experience a romantic encounter with a place full of art.
