200 Women:

I thought the premise of this book was important enough to give the hardback to my daughter and niece.

Es war ein Geschenk und kam unglaublich gut an. Schade war nur, das eine Ecke des Einbandes leicht beschädigt war.

I love this coffee table book. It is great to pick up anytime and read about these inspiring women

Beautiful collection of different histories from different women all around the world. I always reach out to this book when I need some inspiration and motivation.

This book has been created by a very simple idea: Interview a broad spectrum of women to ask them the same 5 questions and take their portrait. I would love to buy the team behind this amazing work and all the women included a drink/meal to thank them for sharing their stories. What a dinner party that would be! I have taken something away from each and every woman’s words I read. I’m not saying I agree with everything they said, but it is so refreshing and fascinating to read my way through such a collection of ideas and experiences. I did feel a slight restriction to the window of wisdom as - I do appreciate the authors and photographers couldn’t visit every country in the world - there was a little repetition of women selected from the same places. That doesn’t take anything away from this volume as no two people (even siblings) experience the same things in the same way, but perhaps it paves the way for further volume(s)... Maybe even 200 Men? I’m not sure how I came across this book - but I’m so glad I did, as I know I will be picking this book up for many years to come.Now if I may be so bold, here are my answers...What really matters to you?That my actions don’t cause a negative impact. I like to make people happy and laugh. And feed them.What brings you happiness?Doing something random that makes someone else happy (random acts of kindness), happiness in people around me, feeding people, learning new things, making things, reading, travelling and exploring.What do you regard as being the lowest depth of misery?Being trapped. Trapped in toxic relationships, situations or in your own head.What would you change if you could?I would make everyone see that all people have value and give everyone self worth. If you can see that, how can you go around causing harm, take aw some body’s dignity or any if the other disgusting things that we keep doing to each other. I hope that would also end the horrendous fashion of leisure plastic surgery. Our beauty is in our differences! And give people a thirst for knowledge. We have a lot of work to do don’t we?Which single word do you most identify with?Trying. I am very trying and I always do keep on trying.
