Book Synopsis
One of America's least known and controversial women artists of the Civil War era was Vinnie Ream, who sculpted a bust of Abraham Lincoln from life when she was only sixteen years old and had almost no artistic training. This biography of the important women artist also presents a portrait of Washington, DC in the Civil War era.

Trade Review
Ream's intellect, artistic talents, indomitable will, seductiveness, and grand ambitions were already evident when she was a teenager newly arrived in Washington, D.C. in 1861... Endlessly intriguing... Kudos to Cooper for resurrecting Ream and enriching so vividly the history of women in art. - Donna Seaman, Booklist ""A sharply focused biography, which skillfully exploits unpublished papers, journals and scrapbooks of Vinnie Ream..."" - David Herbert Donald, New York Review of Books
