Abstract (English)This book contains more than 250 photographs by 45 American women artists, along with essays on the artists' works by eight women art critics. By examining relations between photography, ideology and the objectification of women, the authors draw attention to a wide range of issues, including: gender, ethnicity, sexuality, age, class and homophobia. The following subjects are situated within the context of feminist critiques of visual representation: autobiographical photography; collaboration between photographer and person photographed; work by Native American and Asian American women; the self-representation of women's bodies; women's relationships to place; the politics of self-representing racial and sexual difference.
