Description
Women Seeing Women is a collection of portraits of women by women. It begins with photographs of the two great women photographers of the nineteenth century - Clementina, Lady Hawarden and Julia Margaret Cameron - and covers a period of more than one hundred years up to the present day - from Lotte Jacobi, Germaine Krull, Dorothea Lange, Gisele Freund, and Dora Maar to Annie Leibovitz, Ellen von Unwerth, and Inez von Lamsweerde. Approximately ninety women photographers make visible the entire spectrum of female self-definition in front of and behind the camera. These photographs focus on four main themes - social reality, the family, the female body, and virtual realty - and include a diverse range of pictures from art, literature, fashion, dance, and show business. There are numerous self-portraits as well as portraits of women photographers by other women photographers, portraits of daughters, mothers, and, of course, prominent women such as Virginia Woolf, Lotte Lenya, Greta Garbo, Martha Graham, Nora Joyce, Maria Callas, Romy Schneider, Hillary Clinton, and many more.
