Summary |
"The history of photography, and women's role within that history, remains incomplete - despite the fact that the medium was invented more than 150 years ago. Pulitzer Prize nominee Martin Sandler's Against the Odds: Women Pioneers in the First Hundred Years of Photography, with its commentary on women who have been lost in the historical record as well as those who have received their due, makes a vital contribution to the literature on women photographers." "A complement to a history fragmented for far too long, Against the Odds recommends itself to those interested in the extraordinary accomplishments of women in the single most important technological advance of the nineteenth century."--jacket. |
