EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN: FANTASIES REVEALED - 58 WOMEN OF ACCOMPLISHMENT PORTRAY HIDDEN DREAMS AND REAL HOPES by LEVENTHAL, ILENE (Hardcover - 2006) ISBN: 9781584794769 Subject: ART, ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN & PHOTOGRAPHY Publisher: STEWART TABORI & CHANG US Extraordinary Women is a book about precisely that - extraordinary women, though not in the roles we usually see them. Each of the 58 prominent women was asked what they dreamed of becoming when they were children; they were then photographed in that role. Thus, former secretary of state Madeline Albright can be seen as a chess champion, actress Linda Carter as an Olympic athlete, gymnast Dominic Dawes as a justice of the Supreme Court. But it's not just about the pictures. It's also about the interviews where an eclectic array of talented women from journalist Ann Curry to star soprano Denyce Graves to activist Dorothy Height discuss what they'd hoped to achieve as a child and what they have achieved as an adult. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Hand to Hand Eviction Prevention Program and the Metropolitan Police Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, D.C. |
