A survey of the greatest female photographers working today, created platform as a to showcase important work that might otherwise be marginalized in the still male-dominated photography community

There are many outstanding female photographers working today, yet the photographic industry continues to be a male-dominated world. Established in 2011, Firecracker (fire-cracker.org) is an online platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work in a series of monthly, online gallery features; by organizing events; and by awarding an annual grant to enable a female photographer to fund a project.

Building on Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together the work of more than thirty of the most talented contemporary female photographers from around the world.
