Women have had a special relationship with the camera since the advent of photographic technology in the mid-nineteenth century. Photographers celebrated women as their subjects; from intimate family portraits and fashion spreads to artistic photography and nude studies; including Man Ray’s Violon d’Ingres. Lesser known— and lesser studied— is the history of women photographers; who continue to make invaluable contributions to this flourishing art form. Featuring more than 300 illustrations; A History of Women Photographers is the only comprehensive survey of women photographers from the age of the daguerreotype to the present day. In this edition; author Naomi Rosenblum expands the book’s coverage to include additional photographers and fourteen new images. The text and the appendix of photographer biographies have been revised throughout; and Rosenblum also provides a new afterword; in which she evaluates the influence of rapidly changing digital technology on the field of photography and the standing of women photographers in the twenty-first century.
