'Susan Meiselas: Mediations' is essential reading for Women's History Month

Susan Meiselas: Mediations is published to accompany the major traveling retrospective currently on view at the Jeu de Paume in Paris, en route to SFMOMA. Pictured here are a variety of archival materials from Meiselas' seminal 1972-75 Carnival Strippers project, which essayist Kristen Lubben credits with posing questions like, "How do women forge autonomy and self-determination? Where are women pushing at the margins of acceptability? This line of inquiry can be traced throughout the long and varied trajectory of Meiselas' work, as well as through her own narrative as a female photographer transgressing in male-dominated spaces."
