Synopsis
This labor of love from editors John and Kirsten Miller is a truly galvanizing coffee table book, full of stunning black-and-white photographs, and essays on 50 of modern history's most influential women. Famed writers and feminists such as Gloria Steinem, Camille Paglia, Alice Walker, Joan Didion, and Liv Ullman pay tribute to subjects ranging from Virginia Woolf to Marilyn Monroe; Amelia Earhart to Anna Pavlova; Billie Holiday to Lucille Ball. The photographs--by heavy hitters like Man Ray, Cecil Beaton, and Alfred Steiglitz--are not the retouched glamour shots one might presume; they're powerful portraits of real women with eyes full of passion, intelligence, and sometimes weariness, even wrinkles. The writing, with a page dedicated to each legend, is uniformly vibrant, urgent, and alive. It all may ignite in the reader the desire to take control of life, and simply ignore whatever patriarchal condescension or manmade obstacles might get in the way.
