From Molly Barnes

This is the year of the woman and we've worked hard to get here. In the early days of the 20th Century women couldn't go to art schools, they couldn't rent studios or get included in shows unless they changed their names or "married well" to quote Elaine DeKooning. In this present photography show curated by Los Angeles photographer Karen Florek we see just how far women have come. These 13 photographers photographing other women, with both lust and passion, show we've come a long way.
