Badass Women Book
My concept is to attach my photo to the back pages you’ve allowed, and after time, maybe the recipients will attach their photo and share the book with another Badass Woman, and in time each book could tell a story of a collage of friendship (even if untold) preserved for posterity…”
“I would like to purchase a couple for other BADASS WOMEN…I would like all four to read: BY PROXY, YOU ARE A BADASS WOMAN. MAY THESE WOMEN INSPIRE YOU! Valerie G. Boyd
...I’m going to give them as Christmas gifts..."

…“just opened your book.. It is extraordinary. And I am not gushing.”
“I can’t get over how wonderful your book is. It really is a fabulous collection.” –Patricia
“I am thrilled to receive a copy of Badass Women. In spite of having work to do today, I had to stop and read through it (a first light read). The artwork is totally BADASS and the selection of Icons and the quotations are off the chart."
“She is a total badass–she rides horses and rescues animals and has her own businesses. She is even part of the Santa Fe sheriff’s posse that goes on horseback to rescue lost humans in the wilderness!” –Susan C.
“Your book was gifted to a dear friend at a party celebrating her 50th birthday. She is a cancer survivor, truly a walking miracle, and epitomizes what a “badass” woman is. I don’t know who gave it to her, but it’s been in the back of my mind that I wanted to give it to my girls…who have taught me so much about myself, what feminism really is and so much more! I’m so thankful for their ‘badassness’.” –Sara Gae W.
“Honestly, it is your portraits that are riveting. You captured the vulnerable soul of Billie Holiday in a way that NO one ever has. And that is only one of many stunning portraits. I celebrate you. And I want to find a way for these paintings to find a home in the National Portrait Gallery in D. C.” –Pattie K.

I am interested in ordering for my daughters…The future is female and your book is a glorious testament to women.

…I really would love to get a book ASAP to give to my amazing 33-year-old niece who had reconstructive surgery today after being diagnosed with breast cancer last year while in the hospital having twins (that had come two months early) you can’t even begin to believe the hurdles she has overcome and you talk about a “badass woman!
I would like to purchase three for my daughters. Debbie is a teacher. Carrie works in advertising for a bank. And Julie is a nurse practitioner. So proud of them.
Fantastic! You can sign To ____. I'm not exactly sure what to say! She is a college friend of mine ...very professionally successful. She has her PhD in Economics and is a college professor. She speaks several languages and is often a guest speaker for many types of international economics forums. Also, she is a Southerner at heart and really sweet!
She’s having brain surgery…is tough as nails so this is the perfect book for her.
My sister-in-law is one badass and I am visiting her at the end of the month...She is a badass woman...a role model to her granddaughter, nieces, and her sister-in-law...it would mean the world to her. FYI- she is a huge RBG advocate and of course, she has the Hillary Clinton action figure (but who doesn’t?).
