Reviews

Fifty of the nation's most renowned female photographers worked exclusively on portraits of American women as they pursued their daily activities on April 8, 2005. Collating these extraordinary color photographs, the authors of the acclaimed Sisters (1994) and Mothers & Daughters (1997)offer a unique perspective on the individual and collective lives of a diverse spectrum of American women. As women of all races and backgrounds across the country are photographed at home, at work, at play, on the town, at mealtime, and at bedtime, a vibrant tapestry reflective of the entirely unique persona ofeach woman emerges. Enhanced by essays and quotes, these photographs provide a stunning visual window into the heart and soul of American womanhood. Margaret Flanagan
