About This Item
The book deals with how women perceive themselves compared to how the media sees them. The 10 women featured are: Ella Fitzgerald, Georgia O'Keeffe, Maria Goeppert Mayer, Carrie Chapman Catt, Marguerite Higgins, Sacagawea, Frances E. Willis, Dorothea Dix, Martha Graham, and Mary McLeod Bethune. The women speak for themselves with their words printed across the page spread in black with collaged images; each paragraph of biography is in a contrasting color ink harmonizing with the beautifully designed page featuring the silhouette of the woman whose words we read and whose images we see. From "To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage" (Georgia O'Keefe) to "Knowledge is the prime need of the hour" (Mary McLeod Bethune), the texts and page spreads are meaningful as well as captivating. A singer, woman's rights activist, dancer, reformer, reporter, painter, scientist, explorer and guide, career diplomat, and educator have left their mark on our culture by going beyond what was conventionally expected of women. They are celebrated here.
