For months in 1989 and 1990, with a single light source suspended over the kitchen table in her apartment and herself as a representative stand-in, Carrie Mae Weems made photographs to capture the ebb and flow of women’s lives. In the process, Weems found her voice, artistic style, and opportunities to advocate for a level playing field.
