How different can it look to women around the world? After nearly two years, 10 countries and more than 30 interviews, writer and photographer Aimee Cebulski has compiled these stories and photographs into The Finding 40 Project (www.finding40.net), a look at what 40 means to a diverse set of women. A sampling of interviews included in the book: - At 40, Meghan has left her Wall Street-working, vegetarian lifestyle behind and now hunts and dresses her own meat in a Wyoming town of 100 souls with her husband and two boys - Natalie juggles motherhood with a high-visibility job as the news anchor on "The Today Show" - Simona is a sommelier in Italy, wondering why no one asks a 40-year old man why they don't have any children - In Washington, D.C., Kristin works as a power player as Chief of Staff to a U.S. Congressman - Rosa Elena has never been further than the village 10 miles away from her home in Ecuador where she lives with her seven children and one grandchild Where do you fit in? Browse the stories and decide for yourself. Makes a great 40th Birthday Gift! -- "This is the type of book that is easy to sit down with for a short while each day, to read another woman's story. Although to be honest, once you start it is hard to read just one. It was a lovely break from my day-to-day where I could see life from a different perspective. And it let me appreciate my own choices at the same time." -- Tracey Rossingol, writer/blogger, FashionForward40.com -- "I love the way you write...it's impressive and entertaining." -- Monica Jackson, FOX5 Las Vegas -- "Cebulski's work devotes a chapter to each woman, who is identified by her first name and city, state, country or province. The women, while identified by a signature photograph, were not asked to disclose their full names in the hope that it would embolden them to speak more freely." -- Rhea Mahbubani, Huntington Beach Independent -- "Your spirit of adventure is inspiring" -- Stephanie Von Hirschberg, features editor, More Magazine
