This kindlebook of In The Company of Women; Inspiration and Advice From Over 100 Makers, Artists, and Entreprenurs by Grace Bonney is a motivational/inspirational compilation. Women from various backgrounds and walks of life are featured along with very helpful/honest insights (such as one of the women making it clear that it is sometimes necessary andor not unusual for a person to endure mockery andor social isolation either from some of their family members, professional associates andor friends on their way to achieving their dreams/goals). Writer/Chef Klancy Miller, Artist/Photographer Lorna Simpson, Artist/Designer/Sculptor Wendy Maruyama, Artist/Author Maira Kalman, Interior Designer/Stylist/Author Sibella Court, Musician Neko Case, Textile Designers Hopie and Lily Stockman, Beauty Entrepreneur Miko Branch, Chef/Television Host Carla Hall, and many more women are featured in this detail packed kindlebook.
Instead of being inspired by this book, I was distracted by the social-political agenda that weaves throughout it. After a while the text began to sound whinny instead of victorious and celebratory. It comes across as a book proposal with a heavy deadline rather than anything of substance and soul. Skip this one, not worth the time or money.
I'm pretty disappointed in this book. Each woman answers the same general questions about being in business. There's not much at all about how each individual creative found success. It's so frustrating. I feel like very little effort was put into "writing" this book. It could've been great. It's not.
Didn't investigate carefully enough before I bought the book. I thought I might learn of successful women who owned and operated their own businesses in all walks of life from all over the U.S. and other parts of the world. Not so. Artists, authors, a few culinary arts experts, music, fashion--and most are from New York or California. Two or three from Georgia, a couple of other states and maybe a half dozen other countries. Question/answer format was boring. Disappointed. Probably won't finish reading it.
Beautiful photos! I appreciate Bonney's goal to expand the circle of women who operate their own businesses. I guess I was expecting more; like a few reviewers, I found the Q and A format tedious after awhile. I would have preferred the book divided into categories (chefs, boutique owners, etc.). And, even by age, or the age that each woman "found" her passion. Also, more than half of the women represented are in NYC, not sure why,but after awhile, it felt like I was reading about a very small sampling from an overly familiar pool of people. And, like another reviewer mentioned, the businesses that the women own are not named, a real minus from my perspective.
The book came highly recommended but I found it very superficial. A set of amazing, hard-working, creative women are making a living being artists. How did they accomplish that? The author must have sent each maker a list of 10 or 15 questions and recorded their short answers without further probing. Seems they all wish they'd taken more business courses. Really? Fewer women and real conversations would have been so much more helpful.
After a while all the interviews started sounding the same. They're too short to go into depth which makes these incredible women's deep insights start sounding banal and cliched after you read too many of them. The best part is the pictures.
Just okay. I ended up skimming through some of it. I understand that they had to ask the same questions but it made the book a bit boring and repetitious and I kind of lost interest. Wouldn't recommend it.
Great photos, fascinating women! I wish they told us more about these women's businesses. it's sort of like a secret and a puzzle as you read along, wondering: is her business big or small ? does she employ others? does she work out of her home? how long has she had this business? is it lucrative? what are some products? --Just too many unanswered questions. This would be a much more engaging book if that info was provided.
