How 40 women artists are redefining the ways we look at women while deconstructing, remixing and re-evaluating the gaze

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Girl on Girl looks at how women are using photography, the internet, and the female gaze to explore self-image and female identity in contemporary art.

A new generation of women is taking the art world online and offline by storm. In an image-obsessed culture saturated with social media, these 40 artists are using photography and the female gaze to redefine the fields of fashion, art, advertising, and photojournalism, making a profound impact on our visual world.

Forty artists are featured, all of whose principal subject matter is either themselves or other women. Each is accompanied by a short profile based on personal interviews with the author, giving a fascinating insight into this exciting shift in female creativity.

"Charlotte Jansen has brought together some of the finest female photographers of our generation" β€” Refinery29

"A very important book" β€” Vogue Italia

"Young female artists are using photography and social media to explore issues of female identity. This gorgeous book introduces 40 of them, in an investigation of photography and the female gaze." β€” Eva Wiseman, Observer Magazine

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

ELLE calls it "a startling and stunning book" offering a rich alternative feminist perspective. Artsy highlights the female gaze as a powerful lens for understanding the world. Jezebel praises its accessibility to both photography enthusiasts and general readers, while The Huffington Post describes it as "striking in its breadth." Critics appreciate how it reveals the absence of a singular female gaze and its challenge to female representation in visual culture.
