    Read what Bill Jay has had to say about women in 19th-century photography. (Read anything Bill Jay wrote, for that matter.) This thread will run many pages before you run out of accomplished women photographers to mention.

    There were always a few women photographers, from the earliest eras. There were also women inventors, soldiers, business tycoons, artists, musicians....but you must remember they were few and far between because all cultures of the world saw the women's place as in the home.

    Exactly, and what I was alluding to in my short remarks above............ marriage and children played a large role. If the op was seeking a list of great female photographers, then as Mark suggests, this thread will run many pages!

    No I was just presenting a news article about Women who have been truly forgotten. Most of the women that have been mentioned are fairly well known,

    Anna Atkins was one of the earliest female photographers that I am aware of.
