Womankind: Faces of Change Around the World

By Donna Nebenzahl

Book Overview

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.

A Fine Tribute to Courage and Beauty

Womankind is an unexpected pleasure to read. It is rare to find a book that captures well-written prose and artistic photography.Clearly the authors had as much courage in completing this project as the women they profiled. One cannot help but be humbled by the women portrayed in this book. Quietly the pages in Womankind inspire all of us to do the impossible: to confront discrimination and prejudice, to heal our environment, to eliminate violence, to end poverty and injustice. While many of the women in Womankind are from the developing world, all of them happy and optimistic about the world and of life itself. Womankind, a real find.
