Bundt v. Tube

"I don't have a real bundt pan," Mom lamented.

"Um, ok, so you have an imposter pan?" I asked.

"I have a tube pan."

"Well if you're not making a sockittome cake, I don't care." Mom's baking whims are often not my thing.

"I was thinking of trying to make a sockittome cake."

"Oh!" My interest suddenly peaked.

Women: The National Geographic Image Collection

Women: The National Geographic Image Collection3. Women: The National Geographic Image Collection by National Geographic

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A beautiful collection of photographs of women from National Geographic's Image Collection though I'd guess at least 75% are from the past 20 years. I would've liked to have seen more historical images as well as more shots of women in action rather than posed portraits.

There are also a series of interviews with women of note throughout the book.
