More Description"Diana Mara Henrys iconic images chronicle many of the historic moments and great men and women of late twentieth century America. By beginning Women on the Move with images from her own background, Henry provides important context for her development as a photojournalist and a feminist. As she chronicles womens fight against social, political, and economic oppression, and for peace, equal rights, and protection of the earth, we come to understand Henrys passion for womens dignity and empowerment. In Women on the Move, Diana Mara Henrys striking photographs bring to life the excitement, the tension, the joy, and the drama of this inspiring period in which anything seemed possible.
No one gives us candid photographic portraits like Henry, and they are all here: Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, and many, many more. Through Henrys eyes, we see these women as heroic, but also deeply human. Her image of Eunice Shrivers careworn face in a pensive moment at the 1972 Democratic convention reveals a profound beauty.
Even as Henry presents the exhilaration and hope that permeated the National Womens Conference, held in Houston in 1977, she enriches the story by including images of women opposed to feminism or divided over its goals.
Women on the Move is a passionate celebration of one womans vision and talent, and many womens activism and progress. It will delight and inspire." This appreciation by Nancy C. Unger, the author of Beyond Nature's Housekeepers: American Women in Environmental History (Oxford University Press).
