  I never really stopped to think about the issues that women photographers face in comparison to men photographers. This book really brings the challanges women face into focus. The photography is amazing and the stories of the National Geographic women photographers are really amazing.
  Maggie Steber was asked why does she do her job and her answer really resonates with me.
  
  "If each photograph represents an experience, a document, a memory, then you can look back at a life of memories, all strung together, trailing off behind you like the tail of a kite. If you represent the kite, the memories are what keep you from floundering, from falling off track. Sometimes I want to put my arms around all the people I've photographed and swoop them up with my heart, the way a woman gathers up flowers or berries in her skirt, and carry them with me always. These people, then, are my family, forever connected by the click of a shutter and a moment frozen in time."
  
  I will be going back to this book, again and again.

  Interesting stories of the handful of women photographers who have worked for National Geographic Magazine - and how they "got the shot." Everything from broken spines to being stuck in remote Russia.

  I received this book as a present for my high school graduation. It's one of the few books that has traveled with me on every move I've made since then (15!!). I love it.

  I picked this up free and hoped there would be a lot of beautiful pictures within. However, it wasn't very impressive. Most of the photography was dated and not very interesting.
