Book Synopsis Celebrating Women by : Paola Gianturco
Book excerpt: In Celebrating Women, photographer Paola Gianturco trains her eye on the world's most vibrant festivals that honor women. These moving celebrations, idiosyncratic to their indigenous roots, take the form of parades, parties, competitions, and religious ceremonies. Gianturco spent five years photographing seventeen festivals in fifteen countries across five continents. Collected for the first time ever in a single edition, Gianturco provides insightful text describing the specific occasions and detailing their historic and cultural significance.
