From the publisher:

“Both an essential historical record and an inspiring showcase of artistic achievement, this timely survey documents the groundbreaking contributions women have made to the field of photography since its inception.

From Anna Atkins, who in 1843 created the first photobook, to Felicia Ewurasi Abban, the first professional woman photographer in 1950s Ghana, these extraordinary artists not only mastered technical innovations, but also used photography as a powerful tool for social commentary, personal expression, and cultural documentation.”
