Women Who Light the Dark: An Interview with Paola Gianturco
Date: 11/12/2007
Length: 00:25:59
For the past twelve years, Paola Gianturco has worked as a photojournalist, documenting women??s lives in forty countries. Her new book, Women Who Light the Dark (September 2007) is her fourth published by powerHouse Books.
In 2006, Gianturco co-authored with David Hill, ??Viva Colores! A Salute to the Indomitable People of Guatemala, a bilingual book met with critical acclaim.
Her previous book, Celebrating Women (powerHouse Books, October 2004) was the subject of the first exhibit ever curated by the International Museum of Women, San Francisco.Paola is also the co-author/photographer with Toby Tuttle of the best-seller, In Her Hands: Craftswomen Changing the World (powerHouse Books, paperback, 2004; Monacelli Press, hardcover, 2000). This was Gianturco??s first book, inspired by the 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
All of Gianturco's books are philanthropic projects, for which she donates her royalties to carefully-selected nonprofit organizations that relate to each book's content. For Women Who Light the Dark, Gianturco is giving 100% of her author royalties to the Global Fund for Women, which advocates for and defends women's human rights by making grants to support women's groups
around the world.
