About this work

Description

"In 1979, JEB self-published her first book, Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians. Revolutionary at that time, JEB made photographs of lesbians from different ages and backgrounds in their everyday lives – working, playing, raising families, and striving to remake their worlds. The photographs were accompanied by writings from acclaimed authors include Audre Lorde, Adrienne Rich, Joan Nestle and others. Various women pictured in the book also shared their personal stories. Eye to Eye signalled a radical new way of seeing – moving lesbian lives from the margins to the centre and reversing a history of invisibility."--Provided by publisher.
