A celebration of strong girls in photographs. These remarkable images of girls range from yogis to skateboarders to cancer survivors to valedictorians, and prove that female strength is more than just muscles - it's being confident, creative, determined, fearless, independent, joyful, kind, resilient, and wild.
Kate T. Parker is a mother, wife, former collegiate soccer player, Ironman, and professional photographer who shoots both fine-art projects and commercial work for clients across North America. Her Strong Is the New Pretty photo series has led to collaborations with brands like Athleta, Kellogg’s and Oxygen. The project has also inspired Kate to launch a philanthropic arm of Strong Is the New Pretty, partnering with organizations like Girls on the Run, Glam4Good, and Girls Inc., that invest in girls’ health and education. When she’s not photographing, Kate can be found coaching her daughters’ soccer teams. She lives with her family in Atlanta, Georgia.
“[Strong is the New Pretty is] a book of images of young girls
being athletic, being active, being strong, being proud talking
about their hobbies, talking about what they aspire to be in their
lives. And it just [makes] me think...I hope that we're able to
give that over to the younger generation.” —Kate Winslet, Los
Angeles Times
“I’m so obsessed with Strong Is the New Pretty. The book has a
little bit of everything. It’s an amazing thing [that] my daughter
and I have bonded over so hard, and she’s looking at these girls
and looking at what the messaging is. It’s so well done. She wants
to know the ages. I read the captions to her. She sleeps with it at
night. And she is looking at girls who are talking about what they
feel they can do in life. It’s so well curated too. It has this
beautiful look and feel to it. It’s really the first thing in a
while to kind of knock me off my feet.” —Drew Barrymore,

“A great book… I gave [it] to my daughters and watched as they
pored over it.” —Nicole Kidman, Vogue.com
“Femtastic… A powerful book.” —FamilyCircle Magazine
“Strong Is The New Pretty is the definition of girl
power.” —Buzzfeed
“A lovely exploration filled with exquisite images of girls and
quotes about what makes them strong, beautiful, and confident …
stunning.” —School Library Journal
“Positively moving and totally glorious.” —Booklist
“This is an amazing celebration of the strength, confidence, and
energy of girls and young women who are just beginning to
understand their power in the world. Imagine how much more we can
all accomplish when girls honor what their bodies can do and focus
on their dreams rather than fixate on what they look like and
obsess about their shape.” —Ann Shoket, former editor in chief of
Seventeen magazine and author of The Big Life
“Within the pages of Strong Is the New Pretty, we see girls as they
naturally are and what they want and demand the world to see. They
are inspiring, wise, and grounded in the certainty that they will
take the world by storm.” —Rosalind Wiseman, author of Queen Bees
Wannabes and the Owning Up curriculum
