5.0 out of 5 stars A true celebration of REAL women, April 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: I Am Beautiful : A Celebration of Women (Hardcover)

Hurray for a book that dares to represent the voices and images of REAL women of all ages and ethnicities!!!!! So often we are forced to read about the personal trials and triumphs of various celebrities on the subject of body image and self-esteem. While some of these stories may be insightful and even enriching, they're still the stories of an already select and sanctioned population who've been validated time and again by the media for a physical perfection that we everyday women should work hard, consciously or subconsciously, to emulate and admire. Now we can hear the stories of everyday women, women just like ourselves, who have important and poignant stories to tell. Thanks to the editors of this daring and moving book, these women have a forum that truly celebrates their opinions and reflections, and we readers have something to be grateful for.

5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiring book about real women..., May 4, 2000

This review is from: I Am Beautiful : A Celebration of Women (Hardcover)

The first time I picked up this book, I literally couldn't put it down. I was captivated by each individual story and one was more inspiring than the next. I think the best thing about "I Am Beautiful" is that it tells true stories of real women, not lofty celebrities that you really can't relate to. Each one of these women has a compelling story and every story is presented beautifully with text and a photo of each woman. I have read it several times and have shared it with friends. All of whom agree that this book is a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Meaning of Life, February 17, 2000

By 

Debra (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am Beautiful : A Celebration of Women (Hardcover)

I Am Beautiful is a very special work of art, not only graphically, but in its content. Often, we do not take the time to come back to the real meaning of life and what it means to live. I Am Beautiful is a reminder of life's basic needs and the ability to see beauty in yourself and others. It allows you to identify in spirit and soul with women of the world who may not fit the "ideal" standard of the "perfect" beautiful woman. Beauty is beyond skin, it is internal. It is how you live and express yourself in life. It is how you envelop your internal beauty as well as your external beauty. This book helps remind you of those simple needs for a fulfilling life.
