About the Author
Ali Smith is an American photographer and author whose passion lies in exploring the lives of women and children through her work. Her vibrant and edgy style was developed while playing music and photographing musicians and celebrities, and she applies that style internationally, for clients like The Guardian, The New York Times, Disney, Random House, Parenting, Eltern Magazine and more. Ali's first book, Laws of the Bandit Queens (Three Rivers Press, Random House), asked renegade women like Alice Walker, Sandra Bernhard and Janeane Garofalo, to give us the life laws they live by for our inspiration. The New York Times named Ali's Award-Winning book, Momma Love; How the Mother Half Lives, a Top Mother's Day Gift two years running. Gloria Steinem called it a gift to moms, and it's been praised by The Huff Post, Yahoo's Shine, and many others. (MommaLoveTheBook.com) Oxygen Television ran a feature on Ali, New York Magazine did a profile, she briefly modeled as "The Face of Cosmopolitan Magazine," and perhaps her proudest moment (besides her marriage and the birth of her son) was being featured on the front cover of The Onion under the headline "Hot Rock n' Roll Chick Totally Married." Ali has taught and lectured extensively, including at ICP (The International Center of Photography), NYU, Alfred University, and with Step Up, where she designed and taught a photography program to teenage girls in underserved communities. Ali's work has been exhibited and published internationally.
Review
An essential book not only for those considering parenthood, but anyone searching for the truth.
