There's been an ongoing discussion in the photoblog world following this NY Times article about female gallery assistants in Chelsea and their frosty demeanor. Joerg, over at Conscientious, had this to say about it and linked to Cara Phillips' long discussion here. Liz Kuball adds her inspiring post here.
Update: Amy Elkins has started a blog called Women in Photography and is asking for submissions: "A recent burst of discussions and shows related to the idea of women in the photo world has lead me to start a very simple blog, showcasing the work of women. Photographers, Cara Phillips, Liz Kuball and others have greatly contributed to this topic.
I'm not quite sure where the blog will lead, but it's a starting point. There are an abundance of talented, intelligent and creative women that I have come to know in the past few years. I'm excited to see their work showcased in one place. Cheers, Amy"
Update: Via Conscientious, there's a link to Nymphoto which is "a collective of women photographers dedicated to creating a community of and for female artists, in order to span the gender divide that pervades throughout the art world today. Our primary concern is to increase the exposure of our photographers and the work they create. The collective is a fusion of industries: the scholastic, the representative and the museum."
