The 60-picture photoset illustrates four key ages of a woman’s life, with an array of beautifully average models between the ages of 18 and 53. The pictures are associated with a quote (sometimes witty, sometimes wise), a name and a job: the very core of being a woman in the early 21st century.

The slide show is well worth clicking through all 60 pictures and giving a few seconds and a thought to each one of them.
