Women have had a special relationship with the camera since the advent of photographic technology in the mid-19th century. Photographers celebrated women as their subjects, from intimate family portraits and fashion spreads to artistic photography and nude studies, including Man Ray's Violon d'Ingres. Lesser known - and lesser studied - is the history of women photographers, who continue to make invaluable contributions to this flourishing art form. Featuring more than 300 illustrations, A History of Women Photographers is the only comprehensive survey of women photographers from the age of the daguerreotype to the present day. In this edition, author Naomi Rosenblum expands the book's coverage to include additional photographers and 14 new images. The text and the appendix of photographer biographies have been revised throughout, and Rosenblum also provides a new afterword, in which she evaluates the influence of rapidly changing digital technology on the field of photography and the standing of women photographers in the 21st century.

Seller's Description:
VG/VG-; tiny tear to top of dj at spine, black marker dot on bottom block edge. Lilac cloth with silver lettering; black dj with bw illustration and white and pink lettering; 400 pp. with 263 photographs. This 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. Author Naomi Rosenblum 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. She chronicles both the women's creativity and 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 clear. In addition to the text and photographs are detailed individual biographies and an annotated bibliography. All of this will make this work a valuable resource and should intensify the growing interest in these remarkable women and their work. --From publisher description.
