In these portraits of sixteen extraordinary women, whose achievements in art, dance, literature, music, and theater have profoundly shaped contemporary aesthetic, cultural, and social discourses, we glimpse worlds upon worlds, any one of which may change the very ways in which we make meaning of our time on earth. This is a treasure.\u200b&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Christopher MerrillDirector of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa and author of Self-Portrait with Dogwood<\/cite><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8220;My heart is so full of joy reading this book. Creating Across Cultures is the result of many years of meticulous research, and it comprehensively documents the achievements of female aesthetics through the work of these important artists. The writing is also about real lives, their loves and struggles. Readers will connect with concrete life experiences that no abstract theories should replace.\u200b&#8221;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Eva K. W.

Under its chief editor, also a woman\u2014Michelle Vosper, who was Director of the Hong Kong Arts Program at the Asian Cultural Council for 25 years\u2014Creating Across Cultures explains it vividly and movingly.
