HILARY WOOD

Founder | Director

 

FOLLOW: @HILARYWOODPORTRAITS

I have worked in photography for 18 years, as a University Lecturer in Photography and photographer. I am the founder and director of '209 Women,' I also created the first image of the series, Alison McGovern MP, from which this initiative evolved. I am now joined by 208 UK based female photographers to complete the series. It is important for me and hugely significant that this initiative reflects the great collective effort that brought success to the Representation of the People Act 1918 that gave some women the right to vote, an empowering moment, and the first step towards equality for women.
