Reviews

'This is an excellent book published to coincide with an exhibition at the Museum of London of Christina Broom's photography. It is the first substantial publication on the subject and it is long overdue.' - The Guards Magazine; 'Showcases the remarkable work of Britain's first female press photographer...Despite her camera's presence at many significant historical events and her importance to press photography, her [Broom's] achievements have, to date, been unappreciated. This book, the first publication on her life and work, redresses the neglect and also illuminates the role of her dedicated assistant and daughter, Winifred, without whom Broom's substantial contribution to photography might have been lost.' - The Independent on Sunday;
