Publisher's Description
WOMEN PHOTOGRAPHERS
AT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
Showcasing some of the most powerful, startling, intimate,
and dramatic photojournalism and photographic art ever
published by the National Geographic Society, now in a
quality trade paper edition, this retrospective honors the
women behind the lens.
Ranging from the early trailblazing images by the legendary Eliza Skidmore to the postmodern, experimental, and often astonishing work of
Jodi Cobb and her contemporaries, here is a provocative celebration and
resounding affirmation of the photographer's enduring art. Author Cathy
Newman-longtime colleague of the book's subjects-skillfully combines
a succinct account of the evolving history of women photographers at the
Society with a seamless, anecdote-rich narrative about the daily lives and
artistic mission of some 35 photographers through time. A diverse series
of photographs attests to the vitality and innovation that these awardwinning women have brought to their respective fields.
This retrospective features an introduction by renowned art historian
and author Naomi Rosenblum and a foreword by Tipper Gore, who has
been on both sides of the camera as a public figure of the United States
and a former photographer for The Tennessean. Women Photographers at
National Geographic is an empowering and timely tribute.
