OUR SIGNATURE COLLABORATIVE SERIES

BECOMING.
The stories behind the women.

There is the version of a woman's life the world sees. And then there is the story behind it.

Becoming brings together twelve women in each volume to share the turning points, difficult chapters, unexpected beginnings and extraordinary ordinary moments that shaped who they are today.

These are not polished success stories. They're honest, personal chapters, professionally written through one-to-one interviews — so each woman's voice, personality and experience shines through.
