Fans of the woman's mystique.
Leibovitz, as usual, produces memorable images while Sontag provides the words. Although, it is just as easy to provide your own words and put Sontag's aside. That is part of the beauty of the book. Oh, and it looks great on my coffee table. The book is a true celebration of women and their multifaceted complexity. Or you can just look at all the nice pictures.

I have to cringe/smile a bit at myself with this one because in high school I definetly did an 'Ode to Annie Leibovitz" portfolio where I recreated her photos with portraits of friends.
It's great for the photographer wanting to talk photography with family and not just go around about Ansel Adams.

Incredible photos of women...both famous and not, some heartbreaking, all beautiful. I saw the exhibit in Phoenix and to see these same photos larger than life was incredbile. I don't like to have my picture taken but if Annie Leibovitz would take it, I'm there!

Annie Lebowitz is an amazing photographer. Her art is so moving and compelling, however I feel that many of the images in this book appear to be more contrived than her usual portrails....beautiful just not a MUST HAVE

After seeing these portraits on the walls of the Corcoran, I had to have this souvenir.
