'Faces of Courage': A photographer tells the story of women around the world

Tools of Empowerment: Far too many girls are not allowed to attend school, develop their minds, or even gain a minimum of economic and personal independence. Their lives, and their futures, are condemned from the very start. This story captures the inspiring power of vocational training to change the course of women's lives.
Huffington Post:
On the cover of Mark Tuschman's photography book, Faces of Courage, a young girl of 13 stares boldly at the viewer. Her name is Kala and she lives in the rural Pali district of Rajasthan, India. Kala has been married since she was three months old; she's lived with her parents throughout childhood but now, as a teenager, she's preparing to move in with her husband.

Kala’s beautiful portrait is the cover photograph of Mark Tuschman’s compelling and important new book, "Faces of Courage: Intimate Portraits of Women on the Edge" ( Val de Grace Books, October 2015). Her moving story is one of many told here that address one of the most searing humanitarian issues of our time: the struggle of millions of women and girls to gain freedom over their own lives and bodies.

Mark Tuschman's new photo book Faces of Courage, based on a series called "Faces of Courage: Intimate Portraits of Women on the Edge," documents the struggles many women around the world are forced to endure every day, from forced marriage to sexual violence and limited access to education. But, notes the Huffington Post, the book is not about women and girls as victims. Rather, his pictures portray women succeeding heroically in spite of their challenges.

Mark Tuschman's photography in Faces of Courage is sensitive, vivid, compelling - qualities that are critical for conveying the depth and nuances of the fields of development, human rights, and economic justice. It is not an exaggeration to say that, in his work, the notion of a picture speaking a thousand words is more than a cliché; it is a fact.
Kavita N. Ramdas,
Former President of the Global Fund for Women Southeast Asia

A tribute to the resiliency of women everywhere. A call to action for all of us in the human race to claim and accept nothing less than autonomy over our own lives and bodies, and an affirmation of the rights of all women around the world to exect exactly that.

Faces of Courage is a photo essay of staggering importance. Mark Tuschman has traveled the world to bring back portraits of girs and women struggling against great odds to make something of their lives. His riveting photos open up a window into the hearts and souls of women and girls fighting violence, poor health, oppression, and lack of opportunity. This book will become a part of you and will encourage you in your efforts to make a difference in the world.
Ruth W. Messinger,
President of the American Jewish World Service
Mark Tuschman frames his subjects with great dignity. His photography pleads with the world to understand how providing proper maternal-health and childcare services reduces hunger and malnutrition, and empowers women and their families. His photographs in Faces of courage speak to me of hope.
