<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With a foreword by cultural commentator Roxane Gay (Bad Feminist), photographer Marjorie Salvaterra's HER is a gorgeous, poignant, and witty visual exploration of what it means to be a woman.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In chaotically stunning portraits, HER captures the essence of the inner struggles of every woman. The stunning black-and-white images truly allows rage, encourages body acceptance, explores creativity, and essentially breaks the façade of female perfection and provides insights into the pressures that women face every day. Many of the portraits are quite humorous, whimsical, and highlight the universal experience of being a woman.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>a beautifully produced coffee table photo volume... [a] hilarious look at relationships, feminism and American life in the crashed lane. I can't get by one week without picking Her up (so to speak) and laughing like a loon.
