Women who pole dance to gain self-confidence. Women who carry bundles of brooms or a basket on their heads. Women who ride horses and women who ride motorcycles. Women who fight fires. And a woman who wears a hijab over her hair and sparring gloves covering her knuckles.
These are some of the people that Mihaela Noroc has photographed for the past five years.
With her backpack over her shoulders, the 32-year-old Romanian has traveled to more than 50 countries, including Afghanistan, Iraq and North Korea, capturing vibrant images of women old and young, rich and poor -- and often conversing with them, too.
"I really try to focus on women's stories, how they face challenges and overcome them," she said.
