Women Photographers Are Dangerous




Women Photographers Are Dangerous
By Laure Adler and Clara Bouveresse
A showcase of more than 60 women photographers, from the 1800s to today, whose remarkable work deserves recognition. Many of these pioneers and artists worked in war zones, politics, feminist movements and more, taking risks and breaking rules simply by being themselves and doing their work.
Since Louis Daguerre introduced the first camera in 1838, women have worked and excelled in art, science, journalism and advertising—but often without the credit they deserve. Compiled by historians Laure Adler and Clara Bouveresse, this book sets the record straight.
Includes over 100 notable photographs by women such as Eve Arnold (famous Marilyn Monroe portraits), Vivian Maier (whose photos were found after her death), and Anna Atkins (often credited with one of the first photographic images).
