Women ...


This beautiful 237 page book photographed by Lillian Bassman on various female lives that were lived beneath them, is visually stunning.

This book was recently given to me and if you love black and white photography of the female form ... photographed by a women
(who is still working at the age of 91)
then, this book is a must!
