Seller's Description:
Jodi Buren (Photographer) and Ronnie Smith (Photog. Very good in Very good jacket. 190, [2] pages. Oversized volume, measuring 12 inches by 9-1/4 inches. Profusely illustration with color photographs. Includes a Foreword by Billie Jean King. Also includes a Preface and an Introduction. This book features one hundred female athletes at the best: passionate, determined, and strong. Each of these extraordinary women, beautifully photographed by Jodi Buren, offers in her own words stories of triumph, excellence, and courage--allowing us a glimpse of the personality and spirit behind the long lists of athletic achievements. Included in this collection are Olympic medalists and hopefuls, X Gamers, and competitors in the Special Olympics and Paralympics. This book is a powerful tribute to the importance of the work of the Women's Sports Foundation, founded by Billie Jean King. Jodi Buren is a portrait photographer whose work has appeared in Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, and Life. While on assignment for Sports Illustrated, Jodi was moved by the spirit and energy of a team of women basketball players and their fans. Inspired by this passion for women in sport, Ms. Buren began shooting SuperWomen. In honor of its thirtieth anniversary, the Women's Sports Foundation celebrates the accomplishments of one hundred female sports superstars, including Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Picabo Street, Bonnie Blair, Chris Evert, Sarah Hughes, and other less-famous athletes including marathoner Loretta Claiborne, golfer Michelle Wie, and Paralympic champion Aimee Mullins. From Publisher's Weekly: Combining sweeping photographic spreads with first-person reflections, this book pays tribute to the female sports figures-both current competitors and silver-haired veterans-who have risen to the top of their game. Buren, a portrait photographer for Sports Illustrated, offers 100 varied, sensitive photographs of athletes-some poised for action, some in repose, some with a look of steely resolve. Each athlete s own words accompany her image, as she recounts the obstacles, the inspirations and the milestones along the way to success. The athletes aren't always deeply eloquent about their sports-and anyway, there isn't much space for eloquence in a volume dedicated to portraits-but their passion is palpable. From adventure racing to polo to snowboarding to wrestling, women athletes have made their mark, Buren demonstrates. An inspirational book, especially for young girls, it offers poignant memories (as in Billie Jean King s foreword) and powerful advice.
