Reviews
This is a large coffee table book measuring approximately 12 x 9 inches. It has 229 pages with an introduction in the beginning and biographies and references in the end. The rest of the book is full page image after image with artist, date, and title on page. The book starts in the 19th century and takes us through the 1990's. Every image was created by a woman photographer with a woman as the subject.The images are simply amazing and range from formal portraits, to fine art portraits, to candid portraits. A wonderful way to discover fabulous women photographers throughout history.Pros:beautiful booknice overview of women photographer's workorganized wellCons:does not give much historical background info
