About the book

She-Documentalists - Polish Women Photographers of the 20th Century is one of the possible reconstructions, or rather constructions, of alternative maps of documentary photography in Poland. Instead of following a well-worn track of famous names, established canons, and clear generic divisions, we are taking the risk of building a new, uncertain space based, above all, on that which has been repressed. Such marginalised, or repressed, phenomena include, for instance, the Polish school of photojournalism, the, still too one-sidedly revised, concept of 'homeland photography', or the, repressed like the worst trauma, aesthetic of socialist realism, and the subjects marginalised by history that are women photographers. -- from back cover.
