Based on the author's online photography project, this stunning collection features portraits of 500 women from more than 50 countries, accompanied by revelatory captions that capture their personal stories. Since 2013 photographer Mihaela Noroc has traveled the world with her backpack and camera taking photos of everyday women to showcase the diversity of beauty all around us. The Atlas of Beauty is a collection of her photographs celebrating women from all corners of the world, revealing that beauty is everywhere, and that it comes in many different sizes and colors. Noroc's colorful and moving portraits feature women in their local communities, ranging from the Amazon rainforest to London city streets, and from markets in India to parks in Harlem, visually juxtaposing the varied physical and social worlds these women inhabit. Packaged as a gift-worthy, hardcover book, The Atlas of Beauty presents a fresh perspective on the global lives of women today.

Just a carefree book of everyday women you might meet at a given place at a given time. Worth the time spent.

The ladies in this book give me hope in humanity. As long as love is on our side, we are stronger and we can create a better world for our children and their children.
Such a beautiful book I read it in one sitting with my coffee.

What a beautiful collection of photographs! “Atlas of Beauty” is full of portraits of about 500 women for nearly 50 different countries. Absolutely gorgeous pictures (I thought some of the captions were kind of dumb but I‘m a grumpy grump who can‘t have nice things 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am smitten with this book. It's just gorgeous!

Three photos of women who run pole dancing studios—two in conservative countries; one in NYC.

(p. 238) When the author told a woman's son that she wanted to take his mother's photograph, he asked why. "'Because she's beautiful.' He proudly smiled and looked at his mother. 'Yes, she is.'"

There are portraits of women of all ages who are fighters, drivers, artists, dancers, shopkeepers—everything.

This book is a must see! The photographs are astounding and the message is compelling. Mihaela Noroc‘s definition of beauty is about just being yourself, natural and authentic. It‘s about letting people see what‘s on the inside. Her hope is that beauty can teach us tolerance, honesty and kindness. https://lharvey250.tumblr.com/post/169047939549/the-atlas-of-beauty-women-of-the...

#TBRtemptation post 3! Just released. 500 women from around the globe have had their photographic portraits done. This is a project based off of the Noroc's website. 50 countries are represented, with class, race, etc., not stopping the author from her shoots. From the Amazon rainforest to Harlem. Stunning, so beautiful! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
