“I think of women as the most natural subjects for me, in two senses. Firstly, because women often express more in their faces, and are less inhibited in showing emotion. Then because being a woman has been a great advantage to me personally in being a photographer. Women subjects are less threatened by a woman, so it is easier for me to approach them without seeming intimidating. I can win their trust, move in closer.” 'About Women' is Dorothy Bohm’s first book to focus exclusively on the subject of women. Taken throughout the world, from the late 1940s until the present day, her photographs range from images of ordinary women going about their everyday activities, to explorations of the role that representations of women, in the form of advertisements, posters and mannequins, play in contemporary westernised society. The photographs, many of which are previously unpublished, are complemented by an insightful foreword by novelist Marika Cobbold and an informative essay, based on conversations with Dorothy Bohm, by photography curator and historian Amanda Hopkinson.
Un mystérieux étranger arrive, dans une région montagneuse, au village de Bescos qui compte 281 habitants, des fermiers et des bergers qui vivent hors du temps. Par l'intermédiaire de Mlle Prym, une jeune employée de l'hôtel qu'il soudoie, l'étranger adresse aux villageois une étrange proposition : s'ils assassinent l'un des leurs, ils se verront récompensés par un trésor de lingots d'or.
