Result of a three-year work cycle, C\u00e9cile Fauritte unveils a series of 15 portraits of women, famous and anonymous.

From Frida Khalo to Jessye Norman, from close relatives to illustrious strangers, a series of portraits like snapshots that celebrate the courage, strength and generosity of exceptional women.<\/p>\n

But I also seek to give a face and at the same time a voice to anonymous women, who do not always have the right to speak.
