American Women Photographers and Selected Works
Women working as photographic documentarians and artists have been an important part of photographic history since its inception. Women photographers continue to be creative forces in our contemporary culture.
The Smithsonian works to tell the stories of women within our museums and beyond our walls to honor the past, inform the present, and inspire the future.
