Humes has assembled here a fascinating, educational and eye-opening compilation of photographs, both historical and contemporary, in which a single woman features among anything from a handful to several hundred men. Some of these women were simply in the right place at the right time, while a great many others had courageously demanded admittance to fields, trades, affiliations, societies and other arenas previously reserved only for men. It appears that every effort had been made to identify the women in these photos, though clearly some were impossible due to either the passage of time or poor record-keeping. I would have loved to have learned more about Humes' process for sourcing all of these photos as it is an impressively diverse and varied collection. It isn't as though you can easily google "photos of lots of men but only one woman." A must-have for any women's history display. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The first book to identify the phenomenon of lone women making their way into a man's world, shown through 100 group portraits from the advent of photography to the present day, each featuring only one woman. An original approach to gender equality, this striking pictorial statement brings to light the compelling and undeniable phenomenon of 'the only woman': across time and cultures, groups of artists, activists, scientists, servants, movie stars, or metal workers have often included exactly and only one woman. Covering intriguing examples from nearly 20 countries, from the advent of photography until the present day, and including such famous faces as Shirley Chisholm, Emmeline Pankhurst, Marlene Dietrich, and Jane Campion, author Immy Humes reveals and reframes how women and men have related socially in surprising and poignant ways. This is a fresh contribution to the visual and cultural history of the past 150 years, full of unheard stories, outrage, mystery, and fun. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
