There’s tremendous beauty in the everyday, though that’s easy to forget that amidst quarantine fatigue. Such beauty abounds in Women Street Photographers, a collection of stunning unstaged photographs by 100 artists of all ages. As Karen Chernick writes, the book is one of many recents projects that “bolster an understanding that women have always taken photographs, since the earliest days of the medium.”

Looking for more of the resplendent mundane? Check out David Rothenberg’s pre-pandemic portraits of Queens commuters and our review of the Getty’s Visualizing Empire, which catalogues in incisive detail the ways in which the French imperial agenda trickled down into the realm of board games, posters, and more.

Happy reading.
