Bilingual work French/English
Jane Evelyn Atwood devoted ten years of her life to photographing women in prison. Begun in 1989, this colossal project took her to forty prisons in nine European countries and the United States. There, she met inmates whose lives were marked not only by ignorance, poverty, and broken families, but also by years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of men.
First published in 2000 in France and the United States, Too much pain has quickly established itself as a classic of documentary photography, striking in its rigor and profound humanity. Long out of print, this major book, the work of one of the greatest documentary photographers of our time, is reissued in a new edition enriched with previously unpublished photographs and an afterword by Jane Evelyn Atwood.
At a time when the gains made by women's struggles to control their own bodies are under threat all over the world, this book is a powerful reminder of the political urgency of the issue of women in prison.
