Open your eyes to a new world view with 100 women and nonbinary photojournalists stories from behind the lens.

While 85% of photojournalists are men, this means that almost everything that is reported in the world is seen through the lens of men. Similarly, spaces and communities that men do not have access to are left undocumented and forgotten. With the camera limited to the hands of one gender, photographic 'truth' becomes more subjective than it seems.

To address this serious ethical problem, Women Photograph flips that bias on its head to show what and how women and nonbinary photojournalists see.

From documenting major events such as 9/11 to capturing unseen and misrepresented communities, this book presents a revisionist contemporary history: pore over 50 years of womens dispatches in 100 photographs. Each image is accompanied by 200 words from the photographer about the experience and the subject, offering fresh insights and a much-needed perspective.

Until we have balanced, representative reporting, the camera cannot offer a mirror to our global society. To get the full picture, we need a diverse range of people behind the lens. This book offers a first step.

Relearn how to see with this evergreen catalogue that elevates the voices of women and nonbinary visual storytellers.
