Critics Review
“Artistic styles range from the amazing (Anna Atkin’s pioneering, mid-19th-century, camera-less botanical impressions) to the intriguing (Herlinde Koelbl’s unexpected portraits of prominent Germmans).” –L.

Dubon, The University of Toledo, Choice “This is an important book for the library of the photographic historian, as well as anyone who wishes to have a better appreciation of important women in the field.” –Rangefinder “Would be an excellent gift for a female photographer… but it would also make a great addition to any photographer’s reference library.” –Photo Life Magazine “The book’s strength is in the generous illustrations and succinct format.” –Art Libraries Society of North America “The written profiles are informative and the photographs are beautiful.” –Shauna Frischkorn, Millersville Univ., PA, Library Journal
