Excellent book delivered on time!

Amazing book in excellent shape and a must have for photography fans....

Great book!

I loved the selection of pictures. It gives a comprehensive portrayl of women since the birth of photography. A great gift for a mother, sister, friend or even yourself.

great holiday gift

Like many of the women inside it, this compact book is beautiful - cloth cover, classy presentation, vivid images. While there are a few celebs (Hepburn, Mother Teresa, Billie Holiday), many of these pictures are of unknowns - rich and poor, black and white, young and old, happy and sad. This diversity is the book's secret joy. Romantic and heartfelt (not cheesy), it would be a safe and thoughtful gift for almost anyone, a provocative addition to coffee-tables everywhere.
