Description

A collection of found photographs showcasing Mexican women from the mid-19th century to the 1960s. Through the careful editing of photographer Pablo Ortiz Monasterio, these images coalesce into a narrative of women's empowerment. As photographic technology advances in the book, so too do the rights and freedoms of the women pictured, who become increasingly mobile, expressive, and exposed before the camera. Despite the era they belong to, all the women appear intensely alive, emboldened by their position before the lens. This unique volume features images from a private collection, accumulated over a decade of visits to Mexico City's flea markets, with the assistance of connoisseurs and support from booksellers and merchants. An accompanying essay provides context for these captivating images, celebrating the strength and diversity of Mexican women across generations.
