The photo book *Great Women Photographers* spans nearly 200 years of visual history and showcases the work of more than 250 pioneering photographers from around the world. From Anna Atkins, who created the first photo book in 1843, to Felicia Ewurasi Abban, the first professional female photographer in Ghana in the 1950s: these extraordinary artists not only mastered technical innovations but also used photography as a powerful tool for social critique, personal expression, and cultural documentation.
