I first experienced Vivian Maier while watching a Chicago Tonight story from a few years about the legal battles over her photographs, and at an exhibition at the Chicago History Museum soon thereafter. I was intrigued to learn more, but I was frustrated by all of the contemporary drama (and personal and legal squabbles) surrounding her. So much mystery and controversy swirled around this figure, and I was glad to learn of Bannos's extensive biography. This was a well-researched book that documents and demystifies Vivian Maier. She busts some really damaging (and misogynist) myths about Maier as a photographer and artist. Bannos's feminist lens also allows the biography to give credit to Maier's work, while also cutting through the mansplaining (and, to be more precise, internet mansplaining) that has come to define the cultural conversations surrounding her.

Anne Geddes is an Australian-born photographer. But she currently lives and works in New York. She taught herself photography and became a professional when she was 30 years old. Her newborn baby pictures made her a world-famous photographer. Moreover, Maier was not so friendless as Maloof and others have portrayed her. In one of the book's many charming photographic plates, Bannos includes an image of Maier at Staten Island's South Beach in the summer of 1952. There, she stands smiling on the sand next to her friend, an older woman named Emilie Haugmard, both of them in bathing suits, illustrating Bannos' observation that Maier "gravitated toward women her grandmother's age as photo subjects and friends." I first became interested in photojournalism primarily out of an interest in history. One day, while studying the Industrial Revolution, I found myself very saddened by a photograph of a child in a factory. I remember realizing in that moment that both the child and photographer were likely no longer alive and I became fascinated by how the photograph could make me so upset for the hard life of someone who lived so many decades before me. In a way both of them became almost immortal through the photograph and there was something very compelling about that.
