Women in the Dark deserves accolades for uprooting the histories and production of so many women and laying new ground in understanding womens visibility and impact during this formative period of photography and American history. - Gabrielle Rose-Curti, Womans Art Journal, Spring/Summer 2021, "A revealing portrait of early forgotten women commercial photographers in this graceful and thoughtful illustrated history . . . astute . . . This focused work brings forgotten history to life and will attract feminists and photographers alike." --Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
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 California's 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 form--daguerreotype, tintype, carte de visite, and more--and 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., An in-depth look at the hidden histories of two generations of women photographers in 19th-century America!, The hidden histories of two generations of women photographers in 19th-century America 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.
