Her - Meditations on Being Female (Hardcover)

A photography book perfect for fans of Cindy Sherman or buyers of Sally Mann's Hold Still. This is also a humorous book that will appeal to readers of Caitlin Moran, Roxane Gay, Amy Schumer and Tina Fey. A very strong women's interest title. HER is a collection of photographic portrayals of women that explores, in the tradition of Cindy Sherman, the roles of women in the modern world. Photographer Marjorie Salvaterra, inspired in part by her own experiences as artist, wife, and mother, and by her travels, creates strikingly beautiful images that make us rethink our expectations of women and our notions of femininity, particularly in light of the drive to achieve "perfection," both physically and in terms of accomplishments. Playing with the conventions of fashion photography, art cinema, pop culture, and advertising imagery, Salvaterra has created photographs that are provocative (and often humorous) explorations of the female image. They make us look twice and then think again about female identity, women's lives, and how we represent them. Exploring the beauty and struggle of being a woman today, this is a book that is by turns, surprising, inspiring, and amusing, and one that women of every age will find resonant.
