Description
In the history of photography, two things often need to be included: St. Louis and women. Not only was nineteenth-century St. Louis a bustling photography destination, but it was also home to hundreds of female photographers! This presentation explores the early history of women’s photography. It highlights the lives and professional careers of several St. Louis women whose impressive work started here in Missouri. Participants will explore these women’s stories through archival material, newspaper clippings, and numerous unpublished photographs.
