Edited by two French historians Luce Lebart and Marie Robert, A World History of Women Photographers is the first reference work on women photographers that is both international in scope and covers a long period of time, from the origins of photography to the present day. This ambitious project encompasses a variety of biographies, including the Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908), China’s notorious head of state during the final decades of the imperial era, and Isabella Bird (1831-1904), the celebrated female traveller-photographers and writer known for her momentous journeys across various continents. A richly illustrated volume of at least 600 pages, this reference work is not only scientifically exemplary but also accessible to the general public thanks to its engaging, lively narrative style and its carefully designed contemporary layout.
