The remarkable contribution of women to the early development of photography has been largely overlooked globally, including in New Zealand. Historically, photographic histories have predominantly focused on the male makers, with few exceptions. This groundbreaking book seeks to rectify this imbalance by uncovering a vast and previously unknown cohort of women photographers who operated in New Zealand from the 1860s to 1960. These women served as assistants in early studios or eventually established their own successful studios, showcasing their talents and expertise in the field.
The book takes readers on a captivating journey through the backrooms of nineteenth and early twentieth-century photographic studios, into private homes, onto the streets, and even into the mountains. It explores the diverse range of photographic practices in which women engaged, from portraiture to landscape photography, and from studio work to outdoor adventures. Through stunning images and captivating individual stories, the book brings an important group of photographers into the spotlight, highlighting their contributions and achievements.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of photography, gender studies, and the role of women in society. It provides a fresh perspective on the field and sheds light on the overlooked contributions of women photographers throughout history. It is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of recognizing and celebrating the diverse voices and experiences of women in the arts.
