Artemisia Gentileschi

In an era when women painters were not easily accepted by the artistic community or patrons, she was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. She painted many pictures of strong and suffering women from myth and the Bible—victims, suicides, warriors—and made it her speciality to paint the Judith story.

The Origin Of Profits: An Unusual Strategy For Increasing Profitability. The Idiot's Guide To Strategic Marketing. Every smart entrepreneur knows without marketing his/her business is going to die! But that’s just one side of the story. The other side of the story, which unfortunately is the most important side is often confusing to most entrepreneurs.
