| book description |

Women Photographers are Dangerous celebrates more than 60 women photographers who have long deserved greater recognition for their extraordinary work. Many of these pioneers, innovators and artists have ventured into war zones, politics, feminist activism and more. All have taken risks and freed themselves from established frameworks, simply by being who they are and doing what they do. Ever since Louis Daguerre introduced the first camera to the world in 1838, women photographers have been present and excelled in every field, from art and the sciences to journalism and advertising. Yet all too often, they are denied the spotlight they deserve. Written and compiled by renowned historians Laure Adler and Clara Bouveresse, these pages set the record straight. Featuring over 100 outstanding photographic works by women photographers including Eve Arnold with her famous Marilyn Monroe portraits; Vivian Maier, whose photos were discovered only after death; and Anne Atkins, who is believed by some to have created the first ever photographic image. Photographers include: Anna Atkins, Julia Margaret Cameron, Virginia De Castiglione, Christina Broom, Frances Benjamin Johnston, Alice Austen, Olive Edis, Laure Albin Guillot, Imogen Cunningham, Claude Cahun, Dorothea Lange, Tina Modotti, Berenice Abbott, Anita Conti, Lisette Model, Margaret Bourke-White, Grete Stern, Dora Maar, Julia Pirotte, Lee Miller, Edith Tudor-Hart, Gerda Taro, Eve Arnold, Helen Levitt, Janine NiÃ©pce, Diane Arbus, Lisetta Carmi, Vivian Maier, AgnÃ¨s Varda, Claudia Andujar, Claude Batho, Letizia Battaglia, Marianne Wex, Martine Franck, Sarah Moon, Sandra Eleta, Abigail Heyman, Graciela Iturbide, Paz ErrÃ¡zuriz, Catherine Leroy, Christine Spengler, Paola Agosti, Ishiuchi Miyako, Susan Meiselas, Sophie Ristelhueber, Erica Lennard, Donna Gottschalk, Alix ClÃ©o Roubaud, Sophie Calle, Nan Goldin, Anne Noble, Cindy Sherman, Pushpamala N., Ouka Leele, Shirin Neshat, Francesca Woodman, Lorna Simpson, AngÃ¨le Etoundi, Essamba, DÃ©sirÃ©e Dolron, GÃ©raldine Lay, Zanele Muholi, Sara Bennett, Shadi Ghadirian, Tarrah Krajnak, Gohar Dashti, Laia Abril, Bieke Depoorter, Maya InÃ¨s Touam.
