Women's Work - Stories from Pioneering Women Shaping Our Workforce

',A beautiful book that provides genuine encouragement and inspiration. Vivid portrait photography and accompanying essays declare that all work is women's work.' Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In this stunning collection, award-winning photographer Chris Crisman documents the women who pioneered work in fields that have long been considered the provinces of menwith accompanying interviews on how these inspiring women have always paved their own ways. Today, young girls are told they can doand beanything they want when they grow up. Yet the unique challenges that women face in the workplace, whether in the boardroom or the barnyard, have never been more publicly discussed and scrutinized. With Women's Work, Crisman pairs his award-winning, striking portrait photography of women on the job with poignant, powerful interviews of his subjects: women who have carved out unique places for themselves in a workforce often dominated by men, and often dominated by men who have told them no. Through their stories, we see not only the ins and outs of their daily work, but the emotional and physical labors of the jobs they love. Women's Work is a necessary snapshot of how far we've come and where we're heading nexttheir stories are an inspiration as well as a call to action for future generations of women at work.
