This comprehensive, eye-opening history of women's accomplishments in photography ranges around the world and throughout the entire history of the medium, from the mid-1800s to the present.
With A History of Women Photographers, Dr. Naomi Rosenblum - author of A World History of Photography, which has become a standard reference - helps set the record straight. She explores the work of some 240 women photographers, from Anna Atkins, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Genevieve-Elisabeth Francart Disderi to Tina Modotti, Lisette Model, Margaret Bourke-White, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Susan Meiselas, and Cindy Sherman.
Her ground-breaking work provides an invitingly readable chronicle both of the women's creativity and of the often-challenging contexts within which they worked. Many of these individuals have not previously received the sustained scholarly study needed to establish their importance to the field, and women photographers in general have long been stinted in photographic exhibitions, collections, and criticism, as Dr. Rosenblum makes pungently clear.
- In addition to the illuminating text and striking photographs are densely detailed individual biographies and an extensive annotated bibliography. All of this will make A History of Women Photographers an invaluable resource for years to come and should intensify the growing interest in these remarkable women and their work.
