Women Artisans of Morocco: Their Stories, Their Lives, vividly
portrays more than twenty-five artisans and their colourful world
in varied regions throughout Morocco. The book reveals the personal
stories of weavers, embroiderers, button makers, and a seamstress.
Stepping into the lives of these Moroccan women artisans, you will
gain an appreciation for their artistic skills and ingenuity. You
will also admire their strong roles in this supposedly
male-dominated society and their fierce independence and
determination as they work to improve their economic livelihoods.
You will be welcomed into their homes in rural Berber villages, in
bustling cities, and in a remarkable desert oasis and learn what it
is like to live as a woman in the rapidly changing society of
Morocco. Joe Coca's award-winning photography captures the
authentic beauty of the women, their work, and the wildly diverse
lands of Morocco.
