Images of America: Women in Lexington is a celebration of Kentucky women at work, in the home, at play, in society, and as part of the larger fabric of women's equality. Women in Lexington were active during World War II: they fought for women's rights, experienced changes within the family, and took advantage of or created new opportunities in the workplace. The 200 vintage photographs featured in this volume were drawn from collections housed in the archive of the University of Kentucky. With nearly 2 million photographs, the collections offer unparalleled coverage of the cultural, social, agricultural, and industrial changes that have shaped Lexington and Central Kentucky.

Women in Lexington, Kentucky (Images of America Series)
"Buddy, I'm not a nice girl. I'm a photographer...I go anywhere," replied Berenice Abbott to a male supervisor when he cautioned her that "nice girls" don't go to the Bowery. After reading Dwight Garner's New York Times review (April 9, 2018) of Julia Van Haaften's bio, Berenice Abbott: A Life in Photography, I got New York in the Thirties out of the library so I could marvel at Abbott's dramatic vision of the city, uptown to the Bowery, street level to the sky. Abbott was quite the character, taking small parts in her friend Eugene' O'Neill's plays, immortalized by James Joyce in Finnegan's Wake, getting kicked off the floor for "obscenity" dancing with Man Ray. What a life; what a photographer!
