Photo Poche / Femmes Photographes

Created in 1982 by publisher Robert Delpire, the Photo Poche collection now has 159 titles. If a hundred are devoted to men, only a dozen concern women, not by a deliberate choice but by lack of recognition granted to women photographers by institutions and the photography market. The “big names” who impose themselves over the exhibitions and publications are mostly male. However, women photographers exist from the first hour and are numerous! Aware of these disparities, Robert Delpire wanted to devote a box set of three volumes to them covering the entire history of photography. Here are gathered authors from all over the world. This stone in the edifice of the history of women photographers is a contribution and not a judgment that is intended to be definitive. It is an invitation to discover more and more authors.
