NOTES

Forty remarkable women share the stories and memories behind their favorite shoes, accompanied by gorgeous photography. Cinderella wasn't the only one whose life was changed by a pair of shoes. Ask any woman about her favorite pair and you're sure to get an answer that goes beyond their material design. In "Our Shoes, Our Selves: 40 Women, 40 Stories, 40 Pairs of Shoe"s, actress Bridget Moynahan and journalist Amanda Benchley ask forty accomplished women to recount the memories behind their most meaningful footwear. This collection features stories from icons like Bobbi Brown, Danica Patrick, and Misty Copeland, intrepid reporters like Christiane Amanpour and Katie Couric, and creative forces like Rupi Kaur, Maya Lin, and Gretchen Rubin. Beautifully illustrated with a portrait of each woman and her chosen shoes, the stories explore what most women already know: that what we wear can have power and significance beyond merely clothing our bodies. "Our Shoes, Our Selves" reveals these remarkable journeys, and the steps these inspiring women have taken to get there
