Chapter 1Artemisia Gentileschi
Matron Saint of Artists
b. 1593, Italy
Feast Day: January 1
The judge ordered them to use thumbscrews, to ensure that the victim was telling the truth. There were gynecological exams in court, to confirm that her virginity had been, as she claimed, taken from her. The trial dragged on for eight months, during which time Artemisia never wavered from her testimony: Agostino Tassi, a painter her father had hired to act as her tutor, had raped her. In the end, Tassi, who d been accused of rape before, was given a one-year sentence that he was never made to serve, and Artemisia was married off, quickly and quietly, and sent away, to Florence, where her real life s work began. She could neither read nor write, but she could paint. And she did paint: powerful women, women seeking revenge. Her best-known work, Judith Slaying Holofernes, depicts the Old Testament story of the widow Judith decapitating the general Holofernes, with remarkable violence. But it was her own face she used for Judith, and for the face of Holofernes, she painted Agostino Tassi s. It is the work for which he is remembered now, a man who was meant to be her tutor, and instead became her subject.
Michelle Obama
Matron Saint of Ladies
b. 1964, United States
Feast Day: January 17
We will never have a democracy until we have democratic families and a society without the invented categories of both race and gender. Michelle Obama may have changed history in the most powerful way by example.
Gloria Steinem
She went to a magnet school an hour and a half from her home, made the honor roll every year, graduated as salutatorian. But she still remembers the college counselor who told her, I m not sure if you re Princeton material. She was warned that she was overreaching, that the schools she was applying to were too much for her. Then I got there and I looked around and thought: I m just as smart as these people, she recalled. Smarter,

it would seem. She graduated cum laude and went on to Harvard Law. When she met her future husband, at the law firm where they both worked, it was as his mentor; twenty years later, he would be sworn in as president. Any First Lady, rightfully, gets to define her role, Ms. Obama has said. There s no legislative authority; you re not elected. And that s a wonderful gift of freedom. Obama used her freedom to support military families, to combat childhood obesity (an issue that despite rates having tripled in the twenty years before her husband took office she knew would be pooh-poohed as a sort of soft swing at the ball ), and to improve education across the United States, particularly for disadvantaged girls. Kids are watching us, she said. They re influenced by people they look up to, but it makes us want to live right and do right and be right Every. Single. Day. so that we don t ever disappoint these kids and they have something to hold on to, and so that they know as I say all the time I can do this. You can do this.
Kanno Sugako
Matron Saint of Radicals
b. 1881, Japan
Feast Day: January 24
Rise up, women! Wake up! As in the struggle workers are engaged in against capitalists to break down the class system, our demands for freedom and equality with men will not be won easily just because we will it; they will not be won if we do not raise our voices, if no blood is shed.
