Women have made vital contributions to photography both as a profession and as an art form. This is a comprehensive history of women's accomplishments in photography, ranging around the world and throughout the entire history of the medium, from the mid-1800s to the 21st century. Naomi Rosenblum explores the work of some 250 women photographers, from Julia Margaret Cameron to Tina Modotti, Margaret Bourke-White, and Cindy Sherman. She chronicles both the women's creativity and the challenging contexts within which they worked. In addition to the text and photographs, there are detailed individual biographies and an annotated bibliography. This edition also includes two new colour images (replacing two earlier choices) and 15 additional black-and-white images; the final three chapters have been revised and updated, as have the biographies and the bibliography.
