Australian Womens Historical Photography - Other Times, Other Views

Australian Women's Historical Photography: Other Times, Other Views focuses on the works of six Australian women who were working as photographers in the period 1850-1950. It critically examines their works against the historical backdrop of settler violence towards Indigenous Australians, the First Women's Movement, the Great War of 1914-1918, Australia's imperial occupation of New Guinea, the final years of Chinese Nationalist Party rule in China and debates about photography's status as an art form.
