You may be stuck inside this winter, but you can travel the world in Eight Girls Taking Pictures, the latest novel from Whitney Otto (author of How to Make An American Quilt). Otto’s new book spans several decades and various settings such as Paris, Berlin, San Francisco and Mexico as Otto’s female characters face the challenges of womanhood in the 20th century. All of the women are photographers, linked by their balancing acts as artists and career women in addition to their roles as wives and women. An exploration of feminism and family, Eight Girls Taking Pictures is a satisfying portrait of the intersection between family and art. |
