- Book Synopsis
- Selected for Oprah's Favorite Things 2025 In this two-volume collection of portraits, legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz presents a powerful celebration of women in all of their diversities 'Expand[s] how we see women and the lives they lead through Annie's lens. It was an honor to be photographed by Annie for the new edition, capturing the many ways women are showing up today.' - Michelle Obama 'A sweeping meditation on femininity, power, vulnerability, and the visual vocabulary we use to define all three.' - VogueAnnie Leibovitz is one of the most influential photographers of our time. In this landmark collection, she shares more than 250 portraits of women spanning over 30 years. The broad array of subjects reflects what women look like now: dancers, actors, astronauts, artists, politicians, farmers, writers, CEOs, philanthropists, soldiers, musicians, athletes, socialites, scientists.Beautifully presented in an elegant grey slipcase, these highly personal books offer an extraordinary 30-plus-year retrospective of Leibovitz's portraits of women. Stunning photographs - in both color and black and white - represent a who's who of women effecting positive change in the world, from Louise Bourgeois, Joan Didion, Elizabeth Taylor, and Eudora Welty to Joan Baez, Billie Eilish, Serena and Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour.Among the most expansive portraiture projects of women by a living image-maker, Leibovitz's Women illuminates the evolving landscape of womanhood in the 21st century. Featuring texts by Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; Susan Sontag, one of the most prominent writers and public intellectuals of the twentieth century; and feminist icon Gloria Steinem, this slipcased set is an essential visual record of women at a moment when revisiting the canon of groundbreaking women has never been more urgent.
