Arnold, Eve. The Unretouched Woman by Eve Arnold.

Knopf, 1976. Stated first edition, hardcover, ex-library with spine label, new dust jacket protector, card pocket removed leaving scuffs on rear flyleaf, traces of removed tape that held old protector, rear hinge starting to pull away but text block still firmly attached.  As Eve Arnold writes in the introduction, “This is a book about how it feels to be a woman, seen through the eyes and the camera of one woman— images unretouched and for the most part unposed, and unembellished.   After sections on portraits of women around the world and America, Arnold presents chapters on Joan Crawford; Marilyn Monroe; Great Britain; Nuns; Spain; Caribbean; Soviet Union; South Africa; and Veiled Women in Afghanistan, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Egypt and Muscat Oman.  Eve Arnold (1912-2012) was an American who studied photography in 1947 with Alexey Brodovitch. Ten years later she became the first female member of Magnum Photos, the photographers cooperative, and went on assignments worldwide.
