Description: "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. Women have made vital contributions to photography both as a profession and as an art form from the very beginning. In every aspect of the medium - portraiture, social and scientific documentation, advertising, photojournalism, personal expression - women have been highly active creators.

Yet before the first edition of this book was published, in 1994, their achievements had long been overlooked." "With A History of Women Photographers, Dr. Naomi Rosenblum has helped set the record straight. Works by nearly 260 photographers are reproduced here."--BOOK JACKET.
