The woman profiled in INSPIRATION are contemporary and timeless, bold and courageous, trailblazers and history makers.

From the White House to the courts of Wimbledon, and from Hollywood to the stages of the Metropolitan Opera House—each of these women has influenced the social, cultural, and political landscape of this country and abroad.
Powerful images paired with insightful essays taken from first-person interviews
