Full Description
200 incredible women. 126 hours of interviews. 16,000 photographs. 5 questions. This landmark project is the realization of an epic global journey to find 200 women with diverse backgrounds and to ask them what really matters to them.

The resulting interviews with 200 women from a variety of backgrounds takes you on a journey that's heartbreaking and uplifting, providing a vivid snapshot of female life around the globe. Each woman shares her unique reply to the

Which single word do you most identify with? The variety of answers offers gifts of empowerment and strength--inviting us to bring positive change at a time when so many are fighting for basic freedom and equality. Interviewees include:
