Each chapter reveals the actions through which a woman connects with herself, with her family, with members of her community, and with other women&#8212;from quinceañera parties commemorating a Hispanic girl turning 15, to pre-wedding henna ceremonies in the Middle East, where the hands and feet of the bride and her party are lavishly painted for her special day. Readers also will learn about such American traditions as the debutante ball, as well as the coming of age rituals of Mende girls in Sierra Leone. Gorgeous photographs from the National Geographic archive portray these women and their customs across time and around the world.<br><br>Remarkable stories and anecdotes from anthropologist Joanne Eicher complement the profiles written by Lisa Ling, who as host of the weekly television program <i>National Geographic Explorer,</i> has traveled the world, observing and documenting rituals both ancient and emerging, from her exceptional perspective as a journalist.<br><br>Together these accomplished authors provide a fascinating look at the historical, cultural, emotional, and personal impact of women's rituals and ritual practices. Provoking a range of emotions&#8212;reverence, sadness, joy, and shock&#8212;<i>Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride</i> puts women in perspective in the modern world, in multiple situations and on all levels. 195928 1 11 2005 Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood total:7|5:1|4:0|3:0|2:1|1:0| 7 27 14 2 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 4 0 false Sun Dec 30 20:48:26 -0800 2007 Sat Jan 19 07:31:48 -0800 2008 more...]]> 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 5 0 false Fri Oct 02 10:54:19 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 11:43:28 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Thu Sep 24 12:11:54 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 12:11:54 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 4 0 false Tue Aug 25 02:28:42 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 25 02:28:42 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Wed Aug 19 14:17:30 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 14:17:30 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Tue Aug 18 14:38:59 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 14:38:59 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 5 0 false Fri Jul 17 08:18:43 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 08:18:43 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 2 0 false Mon Apr 13 20:28:29 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 20:28:29 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 2 0 false Thu Mar 26 07:54:11 -0700 2009 Wed Mar 18 08:25:42 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 07:54:11 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Mon Mar 16 07:13:58 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 07:13:58 -0700 2009 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Wed May 07 18:57:39 -0700 2008 Wed May 07 18:57:39 -0700 2008 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Sun Feb 10 17:52:43 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 10 17:52:43 -0800 2008 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 5 0 false Tue Apr 01 09:33:40 -0700 2008 Tue Jan 01 09:58:19 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 01 09:58:23 -0800 2008 202510 0792241843 9780792241843 7 2 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172641398m/202510.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/202510.Mother_Daughter_Sister_Bride_Rituals_of_Womanhood 0 0 false Mon Aug 13 10:51:55 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 13 10:51:57 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=202510
