A WORLD HISTORY OF WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS - Luce Lebart and Marie Robert
Illustrated with 450 images, this book presents the work of 300 women photographers from around the world, from the invention of the medium to the dawn of the 21st century. Few of them have survived to the present day, disappearing from the narrative of creation in favor of the "great masters".
The erasure of women in the history of photography is the result of a long tradition of discredit. Original and autonomous creators, they have never ceased to document, question and transfigure the world, demonstrating that the camera can be a fantastic tool for emancipation. The research directed by Marie Robert and Luce Lebart was carried out with the support of Rencontres d'Arles and Women In Motion, a Kering program that highlights the place of women in the arts and culture.
