Publisher's Notes
A companion to the internationally acclaimed bestseller Material World: A Global Family Portrait, this remarkable volume portrays a multicultural odyssey in words and images that illuminates the hopes, dreams, joys, and sorrows of women the world over. A testament to the indomitable power of the human spirit, Women in the Material World portrays the striking similarities and profound differences in womens lives on the eve of the twenty-first century. Under the direction of Faith D'Aluisio and Peter Menzel, a team of renowned women journalists traveled the world to take a closer look at the lives of women in twenty disparate lands. The result is this unique work of 375 stunning photographs and a poignant text drawn from revealing interviews."If culture were to reflect what is really important globally, this is what it would look like. You need dynamite to blow apart the last vestiges of repressive stereotypes of women. These images are it."--Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth
"A stunning photography book reveals the unseen lives of women around the globe. . . . The revelations are often astonishing."--San Francisco Chronicle

Women Across Cultures
by Shawn Meghan Burn
This text examines the role that culture plays in women’s past oppression and future equality, but argues that the most important issue facing women—their lower status and power—is universal. After a thorough explanation of why women lack equal power, Burn suggests what we might do to change this condition. This activist perspective offers the reader a clear understanding of the steps that can be taken to improve the circumstances of women’s lives.
