Women’s excellence has always been overlooked and neglected in every field. When it is recognized, it rarely trickles down into the education system or is passed on to the next generation. The battle to be seen as more than their biology and sex is fought on a daily basis in every institution they are a part of. Perhaps the most challenging struggles are those where women must prove that they are at par with men. Numerous such incidents are scattered throughout human history, and photography is no different in that regard. Women photographers have contributed equally, if not more, to shape the medium. However, they are often left behind in history textbooks. But now it seems this is about to change a little. Why? Because of this newly launched book by Laurence King Publishing.
