Explore 35 of the most groundbreaking, creative female photographers
in history and modern times!
Ever since photography was invented almost 200 years ago, women have
broken barriers and influenced the artform. Now, this first-ever
children's book about women photographers tells the stories of 35 of the
most talented historical and contemporary shutterbugs.
Filled with colorful illustrations, this book includes stories about
Dorothea Lange's haunting portraits of American history, Margaret
Bourke-White's bravery as the first female war correspondent in WWII,
Florestine Perrault Collins' influential images depicting Black life in
the 1920s, and many more. Including explanations of key photography
terms, photo project ideas, and suggestions for other women
photographers to study, this charming book will inspire children to pick
up a camera and make their own incredible photographs.
"It isn't easy to sum a life up in a few words, especially an
extraordinary life, one whose arc reached from nowhere to everywhere.
But Reed does an admirable job. These don't read like book reports. They
read like sparkling little jewels that make you want to try them on."
