Real Wisdom from Unreal Women - Hardcover

In Real Wisdom from Unreal Women, women fashioned from plastic, wax, clay, cloth, metal, cement, wire, and paper share their advice with their `real' counterparts. Our world is populated by a multitude of these `unreal' women. We pause to look at mannequins in shop windows, contemplate the beauty of statues in museums and gardens, play with dolls as children and see them flicker across our screens or in magazines. They have been with us all our lives and yet they remain strangers. Who are they? What are they thinking? How much do they know? If they could speak, what would they say? In this book we find out. Some laugh, some cry, but all speak from the heart to remind us to enjoy life.
