Description

Discover the work of 100 contemporary women street photographers from around the world in this stunning collection.

The genre has traditionally been male-dominated, but with a growing number of women taking up cameras and capturing their surroundings, this book showcases the shift. The photographs on display are varied, joyful, unsettling, and unexpected, offering a kaleidoscopic glimpse into what happens when women are behind the camera.

Curated by Gulnara Samoilova, founder of the Women Street Photographers project, this volume features personal statements about each photographer's work, accompanied by an introductory essay exploring how the genre has intersected with gender throughout history. A foreword by renowned photojournalist Ami Vitale adds a unique perspective on the realities of working as a woman photographer in different countries.
