This books is incredible. The photos themselves are so rich with texture and color that it feels as if you are experiencing that very moment with the subjects. The photos are of National Geographic quality. They will move you. It's easy to forget the genuine value of individuality because we're so caught up in our looks and in trying to be the best. It is filled with women from every type of work, socioeconmic status, region, and experience. Every reader will be able to relate immediatly. This book takes an ordinary moment in time and makes it a glittering treasure. I bought this for my mom and we sat and absorbed each page together and it really brought us closer and created interesting discussions about women in our society. It is thought provoking, visually pristine, and will stir up a bit of magic in your soul. Postive, enlightening, and worth every penny. The absolute perfect gift for any women of any walk of life.
