A History of Women Photographers

Résumé : Women have had a special relationship with the camera since the advent of photographic technology in the mid-nineteenth century. Photographers celebrated women as their subjects, from intimate family portraits and fashion spreads to artistic photography and nude studies. Lesser known - and lesser studied - is the history of women photographers, who continue to make invaluable contributions to this flourishing art form. A History of Women Photographers is the only comprehensive survey of women photographers from the age of the daguerreotype to the present day.
