Abstract: An important and first study on the woman photographer of the Mexican Revolution, Sara Castrejón (Guerrero, México, 1888-1962). She abandoned Guerrero at the beginning of the 20th century to study photography in Mexico City, probably at the Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Mujeres. The detailed study follows her return to Guerrero, her photographs of the Revolution and the development of her own artistic style in her work after the Revolution. The book written by ethno-historian Samuel Villela, took eight years of research and includes 150 images of documental and landscape photography shot between 1908 and 1959 by the first female photographer of Mexican Revolution.
