One Woman Show by Christine Coulson. An unnamed woman’s life told in muesum wall labels. Tiny. Original. Witty. Poignant. So much told in so few words!

In reply to Peter Verheyen.

Thank you for this, and so many other great suggestions! I just realized that the book I was going to suggest, _Blood Water Paint_ by Joy McCullough is actually a YA novel, but I still thought it was great. It’s an historical fictionalization of the coming of age of Artemisia Gentileschi.
