The author has attempted to identify and show the work of as many notable black women photographers as possible. About three dozen women are pictured, described, and represented by a few photographs each. (More are listed in the end matter.) The photographs selected are occasionally remarkable but more often are ordinary portrait, news, and documentary images. The essays are often disjointed and disappointingly short on information about the photographers themselves; too often, advocacy displaces real substance. Still, this survey and collection of brief biographies, the second to appear recently (see Deborah Willis-Thomas, Black Photographers 1840-1940 , LJ 6/1/85), helps lay the foundation for in-depth research and will appeal to readers with a special interest in the subject.

From School Library Journal
YA This photographic essay provides a fascinating historical overview of 34 black women photographers from 1839 to 1985. It is divided into five time periods and includes the general history of each period, along with the particular photographers' place in it. This volume is profusely illustrated with the work of each photographer and includes both biographical information and a critique of her work. All photographs are in black and white and are excellently reproduced. The writing is personalized and exciting. This is an upbeat, positive presentation of the role black women played in recording their history and their world. Pat Royal, Prince George's County Public School System, Md.
