About the Book
From the bestselling author-photographer of Strong Is the New Pretty,
Force of Nature A Celebration of Girls and Women Raising Their Voices is a collection of Kate Parker’s photographs that celebrates girls and women
finding, using, amplifying, and sustaining their voices to empower
themselves and the people around them.
Mothers
lifting up their daughters. Sisters standing their ground. Classmates
lending a helping hand. Here are more than 150 full-color and
black-and-white images of girls and women in the process of speaking up
and speaking out. Force of Nature,
the third installment in the Strong Is the New Pretty series by
bestselling author-photographer Kate Parker, is split into four
chapters—Find Your Voice, Use Your Voice, Amplify Your Voice, and
Sustain Your Voice. The book and its subjects tackle issues big and
small with the power and wisdom of their voices and their confidence in
themselves. Individually and collectively, these girls and women—and
their voices—are a force of nature. Some arrive in the form of urgent
whispers while others positively roar off the page. Each photo is
accompanied by a quotation from the subject talking about how she has
found or used her voice to uplift herself and others. Throughout the
four chapters are ten “spotlights” that feature additional photos and
extended essays that tell the stories of exceptional girls and women who
are navigating the complexities of making change every day.
My Take on the Book
I know that the description of this book talks about mothers lifting up their daughters, but as a father to daughters I would say that this is an amazing books for dads to read with their daughters too. The book is powerful, not only through the images (which are powerful) but also through the descriptions and being pulled into the stories behind the images themselves. Kate Parker has done a remarkable job capturing the essence of so many girls and it encourages you to empower your own daughters to live their best lives and to achieve the dreams they set before themselves!
