Celebrate Women and Support IMOW on Mother’s Day
Paola Gianturco’s stunning book Celebrating Women chronicles in words and images the world’s most vibrant festivals that honor women. Spanning 15 countries across five continents, these parades, parties, competitions and religious ceremonies celebrate an extraordinary range of talent. The beautiful photographs and inspiring words aptly express the soulful exuberance of the festival participants. It’s a perfect gift for Mom--or any other women who inspire you--this Mothers Day. To make a good story even better--Paola has generously agreed to donate the royalties from purchases of Celebrating Women to IMOW. We’re thrilled that VivaTerra is selling copies and has long supported the creativity of women artisans. In honor of Mother’s Day, they’re offering special values on items made by women. Visit their online catalog and find Celebrating Women here. Order by May 3 and your gift will arrive before Mother’s Day.		Celebrating Women by Paola Gianturco
