Hello my name is Jeff. I attend St. Francis College.

The article that I will be editing for the course will be " Women in Photography". I find that to be a quite interesting topic to work on not only because I'm a sports photographer myself but because it is always harder for women to succeed in majority of the things they do because all odds are against them. However in my opinion the article at hand is written pretty well, I plan on introducing women in photography in America. Though they have a wide range of history written in the article there is a lack of information about the history of women in photography in the United States. Some of the sources I will be using will be listed below.

Women in Photography Draft:

History of Female Photographers in America

Prior to the roaring twenties there were little to non female photographers in existence. After the huge advancement in culture after the roaring twenties the amount of photographers that were women increase drastically. Estimated to be about 5,000 female photographers. Despite there still being an apparent line of gender limitations photography allowed for females to bring forth their creativity. Along came with many different opportunities including different publications such as "American Amateur Photographer" that allowed for women photographers whether she was an amateur or not to further showcase their skills. JeffreyA1110 (talk) 01:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC) With no longer being labeled as "a wife of a photographer" women who already have a keen eye for the fashionable side of things photographer seem to be strong suit for them.

Progressive Era The emergence of women in photography can be attributed to the progressive era. Where the roles of women in our every day society were changed tremendously and reversed. This time period a vast amount of women photographers were reportedly apart of photography organizations. JeffreyA1110 (talk) 03:22, 30 October 2016 (UTC)This article is already well established but some important information can still be included.

Something I would look into is women in photography in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

I would look how women in photography differ by regions of the world.

Some more liberal others more conservative.
