\\nHi everybody and Happy International Women’s Day!
\\nToday I just I have quick announcement to share.
\\nAs you know, my husband, Chris, and I have been doing research for this project for the past few years. Along the way, I’ve been sharing the stories we’ve uncovered\\xa0 – about the lives and careers of early women artisan photographers –\\xa0 through both this podcast well as through lectures and talks I’ve given all over the world.
