DOMAINS OF INFLUENCE
Arab Women Business Leaders in a New Economy

Launched at the June 2008 AIWF Conference in Washington DC

This remarkable collection of photographic 'portraits' of leading businesswomen from right across the Arab world is a unique testament to the impact made on business by prominent Arab women. Art photographer Jacqueline Hassink, internationally recognised for her representations of the world of economic power, expresses these portraits through photographic explorations of the private and business domains of these powerful women. Designed by award winning book designer Irma Boom, this beautifully illustrated, full-colour work is introduced by leading photography critic Charlotte Cotton and includes two important essays by the prominent economist Dr. Heba Handoussa and Mrs Nadereh Chamlou of The World Bank. The book is published in association with the Arab International Women's Forum and supported by The World Bank.
