"A collection of photographs by Los Angeles photographer Marjorie Salvaterra that explores and challenges the depiction of women's experiences as daughters, mothers, partners, and agents of their own destinies. Inspired in part by her experiences as artist, wife, and mother, and by her travels, Salvaterra has created images that make us rethink our expectations of women and our notions of femininity, particularly in light of the drive to achieve "perfection," not just physically but also in all our other spheres; and as we seek to express our talents and fulfill our dreams. Playing with the conventions of fashion photography, art cinema, pop culture, and advertising imagery,Salvaterra's photographs 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. With a foreword by cultural commentator Roxane Gay"--Provided by publisher.
