Women Photographers in Oregon, 1852-1917
The late 19th and early 20th centuries ushered in new technologies and inventions that profoundly changed American culture. Between 1852 and 1917 there were at least 233 women photographers in Oregon whose work ranged from studio portraits to commercial applications to scenic amateur work. In this slide-illustrated program, photo historian Carole Glauber of Portland traces the distinctive work of four early women photographers, including that of Fanny Van Duyn of Tygh Valley who documented the Columbia River Gorge. Their work provides a window into our state's history that reflects community, culture and gender.
