We couldn't think of any better way to start off December, with our very first advent calendar post being dedicated to celebrating women around the world.
Real Stories About Real Women
If you are looking for a great gift for your friends, family and colleagues, or even yourself, we highly recommend Women: The National Geographic Image Collection by National Geographic bringing together women photographers with real women celebrating 100 years of the image collection. It is a great coffee table book full of iconic images proving that the future is definitely female.
According to National Geographic, "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" and furthers adds, "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'."
Let's all play our role in sharing our stories and do our part in empowering women around the world.
