On April 8, 2005, 50 of the world's most talented female
photographers spent 24 hours capturing a "day in the life"
of American women. The result is a rich tapestry reflecting
the full spectrum of women's lives: their daily challenges,
their joys and accomplishments, and their changing roles in
the family, the workplace, and the community. The images
reflect how women see themselves, as well as the
unexpected, dramatic, and sometimes humorous moments
revealed during the course of an average day. The more than 200 memorable photographs include portraits
by Sharon J. Wohlmuth. A dozen essay-length personal
profiles by Carol Saline, narrative captions and extended
quotes provide a context for the lives reflected in each
picture. From the well-known to the unknown, the women
portrayed embody the many incarnations of the American
woman. Their stories, conveyed in the intimate, resonant
style of Wohlmuth and Saline's Sisters, speak to women of
all backgrounds.
