Anotace knihy

In a compelling exploration of all things female, "Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride" celebrates the defining connections among women and honors their differences. Each chapter reveals the actions through which a woman connects with herself, with her family, with members of her community, and with other women--from quinceanera parties commemorating a Hispanic girl turning 15, to pre-wedding henna ceremonies in the Middle East, where the hands and feet of the bride and her party are lavishly painted for her special day. Readers also will learn about such American traditions as the debutante ball, as well as the coming of age rituals of Mende girls in Sierra Leone. Gorgeous photographs from the National Geographic archive portray these women and their customs across time and around the world. Remarkable stories and anecdotes from anthropologist Joanne Eicher complement the profiles written by Lisa Ling, who as host of the weekly television program "National Geographic Explorer, " has traveled the world, observing and documenting rituals both ancient and emerging, from her exceptional perspective as a journalist. Together these accomplished authors provide a fascinating look at the historical, cultural, emotional, and personal impact of women's rituals and ritual practices. Provoking a range of emotions--reverence, sadness, joy, and shock--"Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride" puts women in perspective in the modern world, in multiple situations and on all levels.
