A-Z of Women – C

Blogging challenge from way back continues!

Rules are straightforward:  You go through the alphabet and answer the following questions by naming women whose first or last name begins with the letter in question.There is no time limit.

1. Who is your favourite female author?
2. There is other culture besides literature. Who is your favourite woman in culture other than literature?
3. Two questions, you can answer both or just one. A) The woman you would like to get to know better? B) Who is your absolute favourite and would like to bring to attention?

1. Babette Cole was a children’s writer and illustrator. Her style was unique and hilarious. And educational. I can’t remember any other children’s books that made me laugh as much. And children love them too. Dr. Dog is hilarious with depictions of all kind of maladies (such as pinworms :P) that the good doctor cures. Princess Smartypants is a saucy and independent individual who knows her own mind. And loves her pets. The stories are out out-of-the-box and illustrations are vivacious.

2. Fanny Churberg was a landscape painter. Her paintings are impressive and dramatic depicting nature and the countryside in all its’ glory.

3. Imogen Cunningham was a photographer. A famous pioneer in modern photography. However, I haven’t yet explored her work and I missed the exhibition last year in Turku.
