Historically, to be called a \"muse\" among artistic circles has been marketed as a flattering title. It is a commendation that most often refers to a woman whose vivacity and beauty are the source of inspiration for a (usually) male artist or creator. This deck, from author-researcher Lori Zimmer and artist Maria Krasinski, repositions 40 of these women--casting them as the main characters of their own narratives and allowing users to draw inspiration from these iconic cultural figures, from \"The Mother of the Movies\" Alice Guy-Blach? to Modernist designer Eileen Gray, prima ballerina Maria Tallchief, storied Harlem Renaissance editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, and many more. Each of these women advanced the narrative of culture and society, pushing the boundaries of visual arts, dance and movement, commercial architecture, music, journalism, and the performing arts. Whether by historical accident or cruel design, their contributions have historically been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, and often collaborators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This set includes: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e40 full-color inspiration cards\u003c\/b\u003e.
