A magnificently illustrated showcase of the work of 300 women photographers from all over the world, from the invention of the medium to the dawn of the 21st century.

As in many fields of art history, the work of women photographers has often been overlooked, and few of their names are now widely recognized. However, women were closely involved in all major photography movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, and have used the camera as an extraordinary tool for emancipation and experimentation. These are artists who never stopped documenting, questioning and transforming the world, breaking down social boundaries, challenging gender roles and expressing their imagination and sexuality.

To capture the diversity of this global body of work, Luce Lebart and Marie Robert have invited 160 international women writers to contribute to this volume, which is a bold and beautifully illustrated manifesto as well as an invaluable work of reference.
 
 

Review

A volume of considerable importance... With the publication of [this book], Lebart & Robert are expanding the history of photography and creating a world we want.-- "Art Photo Collector"

Encyclopedic... Teems with fascinating mini-biographies and introduces us to a truly inspiring cast of characters.-- "Rangefinder"

This colossal compendium, covering 300 photographers, captures a sliver of how women have continuously transformed, challenged, and reimagined the medium... No single book can contain all that women have contributed to the field, of course, but this is a good place to start.--Lakshmi Rivera Amin "Hyperallergic" (3/5/2023 12:00:00 AM)

An encyclopedic collection of images that goes back to the beginning of the medium.-- "The Globe and Mail"

As A World History of Women Photographers demonstrates, women have been involved at every stage in the development of the medium, frequently in the front ranks... There are many famous names in this vast survey...but the surprise pleasures are the lesser known.-- "The New York Times Book Review"
