Chelsea K. Madeline is a writer, editor, and mother exploring the world through a kaleidoscope of philosophy and poetry. She grew up in a fishing town in Maine, spent a decade in Santa Monica, and currently lives with her family on a finca in Puerto Rico covered in mango trees and roaming chickens. She studied literature at Colby College. Chelsea’s editorial projects include: Bossladies Magazine, Paper Airplanes, a newspaper of the
poetry and art created during the quarantine, and the Love Calendar. She is committed to creating contexts that evoke our brightest, softest selves.

Why we belong in your store
In Her Own Right sits at the intersection of art history, feminist thought, and intimate nonfiction. It resonates with museum visitors, readers of literary essays, and anyone drawn to thoughtful design and quiet courage.
We consider it a work of cultural stewardship: a small, beautifully made volume that honors artistic lineage and helps rewrite the narratives that have kept women’s work in the margins.

In Her Own Right
Part personal manifesto, part historical excavation, In Her Own Right explores the inner lives and artistic legacies of women across time. With lyric precision and radical intimacy, author Chelsea Madeline invites readers to reconsider what it means to live a creative life as a woman today.
Moving between past and present, the book challenges the stories we’ve been told about art, genius, and who gets to claim visibility.
