Womankind: Faces of Change Around the World

by Donna Nebenzahl, Nance Ackerman (Photographer)

Womankind is a tribute to inspiring women leaders and activists who are striving to effect real change in the daily lives of their people. Stunning duotone photographs present the many faces of courage, while moving profiles highlight the women’s own words, describing the challenges and dangers they have faced as well as their impressive achievements, their relentless determination, and their resolute hope for the future. Womankind features women from more than thirty countries or five continents—some internationally famous, others little known outside their own communities, all of them fighting in courageous and creative ways for human rights, social justice, women’s equality, environmental preservation, and cultural freedom.

This book portrays some truly amazing women who are nothing short of inspiring. The photos are great. The "blurbs" on each woman's fight for change are within 2 pages each, which is great for quick reference, but for some I would have loved to learn more. Photographs were great, but sadly there were many many typos, which is a bummer to see in such a powerful demonstration of women's struggles.
