This unusual collection of hundreds of vernacular images, gathered by Sara Knelman, reflects the evolution of photographic techniques and the shifting place of women in society, juxtaposing leisure and lightness with more studious, professional attitudes. A true manifesto that frames reading as an act of women’s social empowerment, the book also invites a careful appreciation of images presented without commentary beyond the sparse notes on their backs.
