Explore the life of an under-celebrated Jewish artist!

Theresa Bernstein discovered her love for art at age seven when she drew her first portrait. As a teenager, her photographic memory and sketching skills earned her recognition in art school. After moving to New York, Theresa faced sexism in the art world but persevered. Using the name "T. Bernstein" to hide her gender, she gained attention for her work. Challenging societal norms, she painted real-life women at a time when female artists were largely ignored. Despite discrimination due to her gender and Jewish faith, Theresa secured solo exhibitions and sold her works. She continued creating art into her 100s, leaving a lasting mark on the art world.

Praise for The Power of Her Paintbrush

"Overall, a clear, informative book that will have readers cheering for a little-known artist who blazed her own beautiful trail."—Booklist Reviews

"Hechter's text is well researched, detailed, easy to follow, and accessible to children. Her appropriately painterly illustrations burst with color and contain effective reproductions of Bernstein's art. . . . An inspiring account of an artist who fought misogyny at each turn—and triumphed."—Kirkus Reviews
