Mothers and Daughters: An Exploration in Photographs

This fascinating anthology forms a photographic tribute to the inner lives of women through the images of seventy-five contemporary photographers, including Judy Dater, Bruce Davidson, Rosalind Solomon, Starr Ockenga, Eudora Welty, Danny Lyon, Helen Levitt, Mary Frey, Jim Goldberg, Tina Barney, and Nan Goldin. Accompanying the photographs is a moving introduction by novelist Tillie Olsen, and an essay in which Estelle Jussim examines the mother-daughter bond and how it has been visually depicted over the ages.
