For female photojournalists, often a minority, the path to accreditation, like their daily work, has long represented a particular challenge. Yet there is a long tradition of female war correspondents, whose commitment has contributed to the presence of a growing number of women on the front lines in recent decades and who are among the greatest names in photojournalism.
Unlike those of their male counterparts, their photographs have been insufficiently represented until now in publications, research projects or exhibitions, even though their contribution is major in the field of war reporting.
This book highlights the work of eight women photographers, from Gerda Taro (1910-1937) to Anja Niedringhaus (1965-2014), and seeks to show that these women are changing the image, usually with masculine connotations, that we have of war.
