For centuries, women in art have been cast as muses rather than creators, their work scrutinized through a lens of "otherness." Photography has offered more opportunities for recognition, yet history still prioritizes men's achievements. Through The Female Gaze, Diana Nicholette Jeon has spent years highlighting the overlooked brilliance of women photographers. This feature continues that mission, showcasing 20 extraordinary women whose work spans decades, defying erasure and demanding visibility.

The Film Photo Award is a brand new semi-annual award program offering three distinct grants of Kodak Professional Film to film photographers who demonstrate a serious commitment to our beloved medium.
