As Pauline Vermare, a co-editor of the book, writes in her introductory essay, the primary focus of the women showcased in the book “has been, and remains, to find the means to be independent and represent their own experiences and views of the world.” Among the works included are those by the 77-year-old photographer Miyako Ishiuchi, who co-founded a photography magazine, main, in 1996. The book contains photos from “Yokosuka Story,” a 1970s series focusing on her hometown, the location of a major U.S. Navy base, and a still-life of a lipstick, part of her “Mother’s” (2000-2005) series, for which she photographed her deceased mother’s possessions.
