The project celebrates the too-often overlooked achievements of women artisan photographers from the U.S. and Canada\, women who were both early photographers and early photographic entrepreneurs. \nDr. Lee McIntyre will bring the lives of some of these women into focus in her talk\, Early Women Artisan Photographers from Middletown and Beyond.
