In this episode of the podcast, Katherine Manthorne returns to discuss her book “Women in the Dark: Female Photographers 1840 to 1900.” The conversation explores the overlooked contributions of female photographers during the early days of photography, highlighting their innovative approaches and resilience in a male-dominated field. Manthorne shares insights into her research process, which began at flea markets and led to the discovery of numerous female photographers through their photo cards and studio stamps. The discussion also touches on the societal conditions that allowed women to enter the field of photography, the unique challenges they faced, and the significant yet unrecognized roles they played in the industry.

Key Points:

  • Women entered photography as it was a new field without established gender hierarchies, providing them with opportunities for financial independence and creative expression.
  • Many women photographers were not recognized during their lifetimes, and their contributions are only now being rediscovered.
  • The podcast highlights specific stories of female photographers who managed studios, worked in retouching, and even ventured into landscape photography, a challenging feat at the time.
