The Woman's Eye

"Specifically, the work of ten twentieth-century American women is presented. When discussing both art and sex, it is much easier to remain within the cultural confines of one country. Ten is an arbitrary numer; it could just as easily have been a book of twenty or fifteen or eleven. Those included are Gertrude Käsebier, Frances Benjamin Johnston, Margaret Bourke-White, Dorothea Lange, Berenice Abbott, Barbara Morgan, Diane Arbus, Alisa Wells, Judy Dater, Bea Nettles. These photographers could have been replaced by others, equally as talented but with their own styles and interests. Among those missing are Imogen Cunningham, Doris Ulmann, Anne W. Brigman, Lotte Jacobi, Laura Gilpin, Lisette Model, Mario Palfi, Naomi Savage, and Marie Cosindas, to name but a few."--Introduction.
