illed with powerful portraits and stories of women who are rising above their circumstances is the 11th and last book by New York–based photographer , who passed away earlier this year. The posthumously published tome thus stands not only as a record of female resiliency, ingenuity, dignity, and drive in more than 25 countries, but also as a vivid testament to a career spent traveling the world to photograph endangered cultures and document the human condition. Transporting us to the far corners of the earth, Wright’s images — more than 120 of which appear in the book, including those on these pages — never fail to offer inspiration in their portrayal of strength and determination.
