Beginning with the invention of the Daguerreotype, a surprising number of enterprising women took advantage of the new technology to establish themselves in the nascent business of studio photography. While many women worked for male-owned studios as retouchers, or as darkroom technicians. At a time when the kinds of businesses they could operate were limited, women were encouraged to open photography studios across America. By the 1860s a surprising number of these entrepreneurs were making their mark. Drawing on private and public collections, this profusely illustrated volume will serve both as a narrative history, and as a reference book. Publication date will be Fall 2020.<\/p>\n
