Fashion designer Coco Chanel, artist Georgia O’Keeffe and actress Katherine Hepburn are the leading ladies in author Karen Karbo’s “kick-ass women” trilogy. Three very different women in different fields, each with a very individual sense of style, but with one thing in common: they were independent spirits who chose to live life on their own terms.
Today Globe Pequot Press and skirt! Books are kindly giving away five Karen Karbo bundles, each containing the two final instalments in the trilogy:
The Gospel According to Coco Chanel
The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World’s Most Elegant Woman is described as “a captivating, offbeat look at style, celebrity and self-invention—all held together with droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel’s difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, passionate love affairs and eccentricities.”
How Georgia Became O’Keeffe
How Georgia Became O’Keeffe: Lessons on the Art of Living “delves into the long, extraordinary life of the renowned American painter, exploring a range of universal themes. Each chapter is built around an aspect of living that concerns women today of all ages: how to find your own path; work with passion and conviction; express yourself; be in a relationship without sacrificing your sense of self; and do it all with an effortless, unique style.”
How to Hepburn: Lessons on Living from Kate the Great, the first book in the series, features strong-willed and talented actress Katherine Hepburn, who created controversy by often sporting menswear inspired outfits at a time this was still considered quite radical.
