The starting point of observation returns to the inner world of women. When facing the eyes of women, what adjectives will you choose to describe them? Especially when we gaze through the lens and confront the gaze of a female photographer, we can sense an imposing force. There is no denying that the contemporary art world still operates under the dominance of male-centric power discourse. When women's perspectives are blocked from entering the halls of power or the pathways of speeches in many settings, women's photographs still penetrate social consciousness with powerful force, evoking a timeless vitality. Through history, when women strive to share their rightful interests, they may feel that photography presents a special barrier and limitation for them in terms of technology. Nevertheless, the camera remains a tool for them to express, communicate passion and desires, and return to their spiritual homeland as one of their ideal ways. Looking back at the history of photography and its current trajectory, many women have become pioneers in this medium. The stories told in their photographs are special moments captured by the heart, the eye, and the camera together. Particularly today, as female photographers find new angles with courage and confidence, and radiate greater brilliance amidst complex realities while attempting to reinterpret our world, the eyes of women reveal a profound understanding of human spiritual experiences. From their perspective, they skillfully lift the veil placed over history. These photographers have positioned the entire world from a "female perspective" and left behind a more ideal balance. In this book, we will weave a magnificent brocade with the exquisite works of numerous female photographers, showcasing the glorious moments women have experienced in the history of photography. The true transformation of female photography lies not only in themes and expressive techniques but also in women no longer viewing themselves from the outside, from the male world, but rather returning the starting point of observation to the inner world of women.
