Why have some many many book covers over the past couple of years portray headless women, partial heads, back of head‘s. I find it personally insulting. It feels like publishers want to silence us- it feels derogatory to me. Maybe someone in publishing can clue me in. Is it artistic style?

marleed I wondered if it is a financial thing. My son shoots commercial video. His wife is in the background from time to time but her face never shows. Once a few years ago her face was accidentally included and she still randomly receives a check in the mail. 2y
