520    "What can a forty-something childless woman do? Bored with
       her life and feeling stuck, Mia Kankimäki leaves her job, 
       sells her apartment, and decides to travel the world, 
       following the paths of the female explorers and artists 
       from history who have long inspired her. She flies to 
       Tanzania and then to Kenya to see where Karen Blixen--of 
       Out of Africa--fame lived in the 1920s. In Japan, Mia 
       attempts to cure her depression while researching Yayoi 
       Kusama, the contemporary artist who has voluntarily lived 
       in a psychiatric hospital for decades. In Italy, Mia 
       spends her days looking for the works of forgotten 
       Renaissance women painters of the Uffizi Gallery in 
       Florence, and finally finds her heroines in the portraits 
       of Sofonisba Anguissola, Lavinia Fontana, and Artemisia 
       Gentileschi. If these women could make it in the world 
       hundreds of years ago, why can't Mia?"--Amazon.
