Women's Camera Work explores how photographs have been and are used
to construct versions of history and examines how photographic
representations of otherness often tell stories about the self. In
the process, Judith Fryer Davidov focuses on the lives and work of
a particular network of artists linked by time, interaction,
influence, and friendship-one that included Gertrude Kasebier,
Imogen Cunningham, Dorothea Lange, and Laura Gilpin. Women's Camera
Work ranges from American women's photographic practices during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to a study of landscape
photography. Using contemporary cultural studies discourse to
critique influential male-centered historiography and the
male-dominated art world, Davidov exhibits the work of these women;
tells their absorbing stories; and discusses representations of
North American Indians, African Americans, Asian Americans, and the
migrant poor. Evaluating these photographers' distinct
contributions to constructions of Americanness and otherness, she
helps us to discover the power of reading images closely, and to
learn to see through these women's eyes.In presenting one of the
most important strands of American photography, this richly
illustrated book will interest students of American visual culture,
women's studies, and general readers alike.
