Photography - A feminist history

'An epic and fascinating book.' The Bookseller

'Emma Lewis' sprawling new book shines a light on overlooked feminist histories' - AnOther Magazine

How did the abolitionist movement interact with women's entry into the field of photography? What does the medium have to do with menstrual taboos? Is there even such a thing as a 'feminist image'?

Whether working in the studio or on the front line, women have contributed to every aspect of photography's short history. For some, gender is front and centre; for others, it's merely incidental. All have been affected by the power structures beyond their camera lenses. Far too many have been, and continue to be, overlooked.
