Viewfinders: Black Women Photographers

Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe knew, as she wrote in the introduction, that she was not a pioneer; there must have been Black female photographers before her. Viewfinders is the product of her research into her predecessors. Filled with beautiful photographs-some of famous Black Americans-historical overviews from 1839 to 1985 and biographies of pioneering Black women photographers, this book is an inspiration for all photographers, particularly young Black women who have been searching without much luck for role models. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by KS
