What do photographs of women, taken by women, look like? In honor of International Women’s Day, March 8, I asked seven female National Geographic photographers to share an image they took that revealed a woman’s experience. In a world where gender equality is still elusive, these photographs tell stories of hope, bravery, hardship, and survival. I want to give my thanks to the incredible photographers for their vision and dedication to sharing stories of women’s experiences worldwide.

RE: “What do photographs of women, taken by women, look like?”
I prefer to look at photographs taken by great photographers. I’m indifferent to whether they are male or female, and I find the premise of this work insulting in the extreme, despite how ordinary and common such a premise is these days.
