Particular Passions recounts the rich oral histories of 42 pioneering women of the 20th century from the arts and sciences, athletics and law, mathematics and politics. We share their journeys as they pursue successful paths with intelligence and determination, changing the world for the millions of people who were inspired by them.
Originally published in 1981, we e-published the series with Apple and Amazon in 2013 and republished as “Women of Wisdom” in 2017. We sowed the content on social media and are delighted that several chapters are frequently listed on Kindle’s top 10 list of short reads.
We conceived the strategy, built and led the team, and managed the execution.

The series was repackaged for kindle and i-books in 2017, with 12 selected titles available as single chapters. Marketing the chapters by subject, we are able to share the unique voices of these women in connection to ongoing conversations in social media.
PARTICULAR PASSIONS: TALKS WITH WOMEN WHO SHAPED OUR TIMES
Particular Passions recounts the rich oral histories of forty-two pioneering women of the twentieth century from the arts and sciences, athletics and law, mathematics and politics. We share their journeys as they pursue successful paths with intelligence and determination, changing the world for the millions of women and men who were inspired by them.
Originally published in 1981, we e-published the series on Apple and Amazon in 2013, and re-packaged the series as Women of Wisdom in 2017.  Several of these chapters were frequently on Kindle's top 10 short-read.
April 2018, we published "Women: A time capsule of the American Feminist landscape."  This limited edition photographic portfolio contains portraits of Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Julia Child, Betty Friedan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Grace Murray Hopper, Lucy Jarvis, Billie Jean King, Susan Sontag, Diana Vreeland and Barbara Walters
