Description

Photography - A Feminist History explores how women's rights and societal attitudes to gender have shaped the history of photography. From the 1800s to the present day, women have transformed the art form at every stage in its development.

The book delves into how power structures beyond the lens have impacted photographers, their work, and their stories over time. It examines the factors that have motivated, supported, and inhibited women and non-binary photographers, including the abolitionist movement and laws around menstrual rights.

With contributions from over 200 photographers, both established and lesser-known, this book offers a comprehensive look at the history of photography through a feminist lens. It includes thematic essays and extended texts on 75 practitioners, many compiled from interviews with the author.
