<DIV><DIV>Women have had a special relationship with the camera since the advent of photographic technology in the mid-nineteenth century. Photographers celebrated women as their subjects, from intimate family portraits and fashion spreads to artistic photography and nude studies, including Man Ray&#8217;s Violon d&#8217;Ingres. Lesser known&#8212 and lesser studied&#8212 is the history of women photographers, who continue to make invaluable contributions to this flourishing art form.<BR><BR>A lengthy study with 432 pages and more than 300 illustrations, <I>A History of Women Photographers</I> is the only survey of women photographers working in the past three centuries, and it is impressively comprehensive. In this edition author Naomi Rosenblum expands the book&#8217;s coverage, including new photographers and fourteen new images. There are several important revisions throughout the text and to the appendix of photographer biographies. Rosenblum also provides a new Afterword, in which she evaluates the influence of rapidly changing digital technology on the field of photography and how women photographers stand in the twenty-first century.<BR></DIV>
