• catalog abstract ""Pulled from more than thirty thousand slides, taken over the course of ten years, Connie Bickman's stunning photos represent the tribe of women from which all human life springs. Leaving her comfortable Midwestern home with a pack of camera equipment and bare necessities, Connie set out at age forty to discover a new world. Through her travels, she learned to touch the earth and feel its pulse -- to respect the lives and cultures it supports. Her writing and photography celebrate the beauty of the world's diversity, from a ten-year-old in a Nepali monastery who leaves her shoes on the street for a stranger, to a Russian woman who offers hospitality and a smile in the common language of gestures, to a Turkish woman who risks her life by revealing her eyes for Connie's camera. Readers are invited to see these women in their everyday lives through the lens and pen of an observant, generous woman." "The images and words of Tribe of Women record the kindness and openness of the human spirit through the beauty of everyday details. Connie's goal when she began her journey was to discover exotic places, but she discovered much more. "Though we may travel far and in many directions," she writes, "we will meet only what we carry with us, for every being is a mirror to our own divine self."" "What Connie saw, and what her camera reveals, is love, beauty, peace, courage, and joy. The images planted in the mind's eye continue to inspire even as we return to our own lives, familiar to us, exotic to others. This book vividly demonstrates that the earth can support a myriad of life and belief, culture and practice. It celebrates our ability to share our humanity while expressing ourselves and our cultures in unique and creative ways. Tribe of Women chronicles one woman's profound spiritual and physical journey into the lives of her sisters around the globe. Book jacket."--Jacket.".
