Recover the stories of long-overlooked American women who, at a
time when women rarely worked outside the home, became commercial
photographers and shaped the new, challenging medium. Covering two
generations of photographers ranging from New York City to
Californias mining districts, this study goes beyond a broad survey
and explores individual careers through primary sources and new
materials. Profiles of the photographers animate their careers by
exploring how they began, the details of running their own studios,
and their visual output. The featured photos vary in
formdaguerreotype, tintype, carte de visite, and moreand subject,
including Civil War portraits, postmortem photography, and
landscape photography. This welcome resource fills in gaps in
photographic, American, and women's history and convincingly lays
out the parallels between the growth of photography as an available
medium and the late-19th-century women's movement.
