A new generation of female artists is emerging who have grown up in a culture saturated with social media and selfies. This book looks at how young women are using photography and the internet to explore issues of self-image and female identity, and the impact this is having on contemporary art. It is loosely divided into two sections, "Self," exploring women who photograph themselves, and "Other," women using other women as the main subject of their work. Around 40 artists are featured with a selection of their work, each accompanied by a short profile based around personal interviews with the author, giving a fascinating insight into this exciting shift in female creativity.
