Publisher Comments:

Ranging from the early trailblazing images by the legendary Eliza Skidmore to the postmodern, experimental, and often astonishing work of Jodi Cobb and her contemporaries, her is a provocative celebration and resounding affirmation of the photographer’s enduring art. Author Cathy Newman—longtime colleague of the book’s subjects—skillfully combines a succinct account of the evolving history of women photographers at the Society with a seamless, anecdote-rich narrative about the daily lives and artistic mission of some 35 photographers through time. A diverse series of photographs attests to the vitality and innovation that these award-winning women have brought to their respective fields.

This retrospective features an introduction by renowned art historian and author Naomi Rosenblum and a foreword by Tipper Gore, who has been on both sides of the camera as a public figure of the United States and a former photographer for The Tennessean. Women Photographers at National Geographic is an empowering and timely tribute.

I've just checked this book out from my library and now I need to own it! The author, Cathy Newman, has written other things and after reading them as well, I will write to her to ask why our Deaf women photographers have not been noted. It is so important not just for the hearing, but equally for us Deaf to see and know what all our people can, have and will do in this world. Without that knowledge, we will forever be as invisible as we still are today.
