I had just ordered Shutterbabe from Amazon when I read your e-mail. Now I'm not sure I want to read it. I hope the author of the review - Janet Reitman - will write a book about being a woman photojournalist, too. I'm not sure about the sour grapes. Deborah Copaken Kogan didn't have a very long photojournalism career either. The review sounds like the book is more about sex than photography. I hope not. That would indicate that Kogan (and by implication possibly other women photojournalists) used her sex to get ahead instead of her talent. One of the Amazon reviews by a feminist criticized the book because in the end she gives up her career to be a mother. It certainly is hard being a woman in a man's world (except on the LUG)!!
