This book describes an orthomolecular approach to cancer therapy.
It explains how dietary interventions can control cancer.
In 1903 a self-taught novice photographer, Christina Broom, turned
to photography as a business venture to support her family; from
this modest beginning she was to emerge as Britain s acknowledged
pioneer woman press photographer. Unconventionally for women
photographers of the time she took her camera to the streets and
recorded arresting and historically important images of
Suffragettes, sporting events, royal occasions and World War I
soldiers and developed a significant enterprise in picture
postcards which she published from her home in Fulham, London, till
her death in 1939. Despite her camera s presence at many
significant historical events and her importance to press
photography her achievements have, to date, been underappreciated;
this, the first publication on her life and work redresses the
neglect and also illuminates the vital role of her dedicated
assistant and daughter, Winifred, without whom Broom s substantial
contribution to photography might have been lost.The book showcases
Broom s remarkable work celebrating her personal journey, approach
and skill through many rich photographs, drawn from the Museum of
London s fine collection of her plate glass negatives and prints
which reflect her visual style and spectrum of subjects. Essays
from four women who have engaged closely with her work for several
years explore and contextualise her imagery and reveal the
compelling story of the women behind the lens. The book accompanies
the exhibition Soldiers & Suffragettes: the photography of
Christina Broom at Museum of London Docklands."
