Description
A striking gallery of women who broke the mould, captured in group portraits that reveal a fascinating phenomenon. From nearly 20 countries, spanning nearly two centuries, this book brings to light the surprising and poignant ways in which women and men have related socially. Through a unique focus on women in public life, from 1860 to the present day, the book charts the phenomenon of 'the only woman', featuring both unknown and well-known women from diverse backgrounds. The result is a fresh contribution to visual and cultural history, full of unheard stories, courage, achievement, and extraordinary women.
