Women and the Photobook @ Bodleian Libraries and The Old Fire Station, Oxford, UK

This pop-up library, inspired by the recent publication, What They saw: Historical Photobooks by Women, 1843–1999, explores the diversity of photographic books created by women. Throughout history, the contributions of women to the field of photography have often been overlooked. Visit the pop-up library in Blackwell Hall showcasing a wide-ranging collection of historical and contemporary photobooks authored by women.
