Women's Work: A Survey of Female Photographers

More than any other visual medium, women have played vital and sustained roles in the making and advancement of photography since its invention. Unfortunately, this contribution has been underemphasized. With a broad interest growing in museums to enlarge the canon to be more inclusive and reflective of under-recognized contributors, this exhibition seeks to do our part. The MFA photography collection is rich in examples of innovative, courageous, and talented women photographers from the earliest days of the medium to contemporary times. The museum will be closed from July 4-10 and will reopen to the public on July 12.
