Garry Winogrand — Women are better than men. Not only have they survived, they do prevail.
Garry Winogrand

Women are better than men. Not only have they survived, they do prevail.

A collection of fifteen gelatin silver prints by legendary street photographer Garry Winogrand, this 1982 publication captures candid moments of women navigating the urban landscape of mid-twentieth century America. With his characteristic spontaneous framing and sharp observational eye, Winogrand documents his subjects with an unposed immediacy that reveals the complexity, resilience, and vitality of women in everyday life. Published by DEP Editions Inc. in New York, the portfolio stands as both a testament to Winogrand's masterful documentary style and a nuanced, if provocative, meditation on gender and survival.
