Shutterbabe is one of my most favorite books, a memoir I crack open at least twice a year. Most 20-somethings right out of Harvard head straight to an i-bank or a consulting firm, but Deborah Copaken Kogan became a war photographer. Her story is as much about her adventures photographing all kinds of drama in Afghanistan, Romania, Switzerland and the Soviet Union as it is about how women photojournalists have to fight for respect.
Perfect For: The person on your list who's a world traveler or loves photography.
