Kaye | 5 Stars:
Collective Wisdom is a fantastic photo/coffee table book. The focus is on interviews with over 100 women who are all outstanding in their fields. Each woman is beautifully photographed with blurbs explaining why they are known. There are interview questions, quotes, life lessons and words of wisdom to be passed along to the reader. All of the women are known or recognized in their specialties or communities although I was only aware of three of them. They represent women who are activists, artists, educators, writers, chefs etc. One of my favorites is the oldest National Park Ranger at the age of 100.
In several cases the book highlights two women who share a common interest and friendship although there maybe be decades of differences in their ages. I was especially happy the book is inclusive and diverse with many minorities and ethnicities represented. The words of wisdom and life lessons are worth reading as is viewing the lovely photographs. I like that this didn't focus on celebrities although many are award winners in their fields. This is great book for women of any age. It especially celebrates aging and the wisdom that comes with it. Thank you NetGalley and Artisan Books for a temporary ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Definitely one to come back to for inspiration. As someone on the edge of 50 it [Collective Wisdom] gives me a feeling that there is space for doing amazing things in life. A good balm for seeing lists like the 30 under 30 and such.
