Be...a Woman addresses the question that has been asked for centuries but has never before been more controversial: What defines a woman's beauty? Two women, who have made their livelihoods in the beauty business, provide the most insightful and honest answer: the radiant inner light of a woman in a state of being rather than trying to be.
Breathtaking images of real women combined with inspirational observations about women's inner beauty help the reader make a deeper connection to the power of their own authentic self. This compelling compilation profiles the universal themes of empowerment, resilience, courage, acceptance and the true beauty of womanhood, in all its stages of evolution, through extraordinary, moving portraits.
The Western woman's revolution of today is about returning to our core, quietly without noise. It is about finding balance with nature and consciousness and feeling good in our skin. It is about rediscovering the essence of our inner beauty and honoring it in ourselves and in the delicate connectedness of women around us. Be...a Woman is a spirited collection that will breathe life into its reader's soul. A treasure, Be...a Woman is for every daughter, mother, sister, grandmother, girlfriend, coworker and neighbor, for every woman, young and old.

About the Author

KIM MACGREGOR, author and motivational speaker, knows the delicate balance of maintaining a sense of self in an industry that is notorious for its subjective, unrealistic approach to youth and beauty, having appeared in television, film, commercials and print work since the age of five. Inspired by her daughters, she is driven to improve the lives and self-esteem of young girls and women. She has published two books that have helped raise over $125,000 for cystic fibrosis research, a life-threatening illness that affects her eldest daughter. She lives in Toronto, Canada, with her husband and three little girls.
ARLINE MALAKIAN, fashion photographer, artist and lecturer, has commanded attention and awards worldwide for her work. As an image maker with integrity, she creates images that challenge the norms of branding, style and fashion in the commercial and editorial worlds. Her unique philosophy was the focus of an hour-long documentary on beauty produced by Dove for the W Network that helped launch their Campaign for Real Beauty. Arline will present her photography show, Gaze, in Fall 2007, a stunning collection of personal work created and photographed. She lives in her adopted homeland of Toronto, Canada.
