This powerful photography collection, drawn from the celebrated National Geographic archive, reveals the lives of women from around the globe, accompanied by revelatory new interviews and portraits of contemporary trailblazers including Oprah Winfrey, Jane Goodall, and Christiane Amanpour. #MeToo. #GirlBoss. Time's Up. From Silicon Valley to politics and beyond, women are reshaping our world. Now, in anticipation of the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, this bold and inspiring book from National Geographic mines 130 years of photography to showcase their past, their present, and their future. With 400+ stunning images from more than 50 countries, each page of this glorious book offers compelling testimony about what it means to be female, from historic suffragettes to the haunting, green-eyed "Afghan girl." Organized around chapter themes like grit, love, and joy, the book features brand-new commentary from a wide swath of luminaries including Laura Bush, Gloria Allred, Roxane Gay, Melinda Gates, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, and the founders of the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements. Each is accompanied by a bold new portrait, shot by acclaimed NG photographer Erika Larsen. The ultimate coffee table book, this iconic collection provides definitive proof that the future is female.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!
The photographs in this book are so utterly awesome. The photos tell a story and you can get just a whisper of what it is like to be in the other persons shoes. The photos also show a history of real women and how times have changed. I'm going to buy this book for my mom & stepmom. It book is really awesome and thought-provoking.

Amazing book celebrating women
Love, love , love it. Such intriguing photos. For any photography buff or just to celebrate women. This is a great gift. I bought it right after my mom passed away as a gift to myself to remember her and all the great women out there who are heroines in their own lives.

Wonderful Book …
I love this book! Bought two so I could give one to my BFF of 44 years. She loved it. Every female regardless of age, race, or national origin needs to have a copy of this book! Women have made remarkable contributions to society all over the entire world. Sadly we aren’t taught about these fabulous women/contributions in school.

Great coffee table book
It was a gift for my very independent daughter. The photos are wonderful. It is a perfect coffee table book, in that just about anyone would enjoy glancing at the images and brief history behind them.

I bought this book for my friend's 80th birthday. She phoned me a few days later to say how much she loved the book, the wonderful photos and accompanying writing. She told me that this was a perfect gift and urged me to buy another book just for me!

Arrivato rovinato.
Il libro fotografico è bellissimo ma è arrivato con la copertina rovinata! Era un regalo di Natale ed ero troppo sotto data per poterlo rendere.

This book is so transformative....There is no single photo in this book that i could put in a column "i like it less" or "i don't like it".....Eve photo has in my eyes such a story and for every person who buys this book i can only say that i can only imagine that the same photo will probably have different story but the message is the same - WOMEN! POWERFUL! Thank you
