A incredibly beautiful small paperback - this book is full of photographs from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1960s that "captures the essence of Mexican women before the camera lens throughout history." This collection has been put together by photographer and editor Pablo Ortiz Monasterio and it shows the empowerment of Mexican women since the early days of photography. This book also includes an essay by Brenda Navarro, a renowned Mexican writer, sociologist, and economist. Her perspective provides a contextual and in-depth angle that further enriches the comprehension of the images and the stories within them. We love this little collection, the images and the deeply rooted history that is shared. 135 pages, 5.5" by 7.5" Show more
