Eighty-five percent of photojournalists are men. That means almost everything that is reported in the world is seen through mens eyes.Similarly, spaces and communities men dont have access to are leftundocumentedandforgotten. With the camera limited to the hands of one gender, photographic truth is more subjective than it seems. To answer this serious ethical problem, Women Photograph flips that bias on its head toshow what and how women andnonbinaryphotojournalists see.

Fromdocumentingmajor events such as 9/11to capturingunseen and misrepresented communities, What We See presents a revisionist contemporary history through 50years of womens dispatchesin100 photographs.Eachimageis accompanied by 200 words from the photographer about the experience and the subject, offering fresh insights and amuch-neededperspective.

Until we havebalanced,representative reporting,the camera cannot offer a mirror to our global society. To get the full picture,we needa diverse range of people behind the lens. This book offers a first step.
