Sally Elizabeth Wood: Defying Traditional Womanhood of the White Bourgeois Canadian Society Through Photography
Canadian photographer Sally Elizabeth Wood, also known as Sally Eliza Wood, was born in Knowlton, Quebec in 1857. As a bourgeois white woman, Wood used her privilege to defy 20th-century gender norms; she received professional training at William Notman’s photography studio in Montreal sometime before 1897, which helped pave the way for her career in Quebec.
