"About eminent painter Georgia O'Keeffe and Anita Pollitzer, a trailblazer of the American suffragist movement, Liza Bennett's rich biography Georgia and Anita covers a dynamic, tragic friendship."-Isaac Randel, Foreword Reviews "Liza Bennett's luminous and absorbing exploration of the friendship between a painter of genius and a women's rights activist during the morning years of the twentieth century rings absolutely true to its era while beautifully evoking the power and urgency of a new kind of American art being born."-Richard Snow, author of Disney's Land: Walt Disney and the Invention of the Amusement Park That Changed the World "A masterpiece, an exquisitely told story of love, art, feminism, family, and the making of the modern age, propelled by the deep and turbulent current of a decades-long friendship between two extraordinary women."-Frederick E. Allen, former editor at American Heritage and New York magazines "An important contribution to the literature on women's friendship. While much has been written about Georgia O'Keeffe, woman artist, little is known of her lifelong bond with a central figure in the fight for the ballot, Anita Pollitzer. This is their riveting story."-Ellen Feldman, author of Lucy and Terrible Virtue "Beautifully written, by turns funny, inspiring, and poignant, this is the true story of two American women-one famous, one little known today-who changed the world. A narrative of friendship, devotion, and, ultimately, betrayal."-Kevin Baker, author of Dreamland
