Although that text was illustratedwith some color photography, we wanted the opportunity to provide additional picturesof skin diseases afflicting girls and women. The word 'atlas' originally referred to the Greek god who held up 'the pillars of theuniverse'. In medical publishing, it has come to mean a collection of illustrations, designed with the concept that one picture is worth a thousand words2. With thedevelopment of the Kodachrome, also termed slides or diazopositives, enormouscollections of dermatologic pictures were amassed, now augmented and even replacedwith the advent of digital photography If one picture should be worth a thousand words, then a color atlas becomes an encyclopedia in pictorial format. This Atlas illustrates diseases and conditions that may have different morphology between the sexes. Some clinical entities are also included so that the sections may be more complete or because the lack of gender difference makes the clinical presentation significant. Chapters are organized primarily in a topographic format.
