, we recognize the voices of those who suffered the injustice of being silenced simply for being their authentic selves. As CBS2's Mary Calvi tells us, she was never properly recognized through the lens of who she really was until years after death.
"We're in one of New York's historic houses. The initial the bones of the house were built in 1690," said Victoria Munro, executive director of the Alice Austen House."We're a photographic museum, because we represent the life and work of our namesake, Alice Austen." Munro says the home was a muse for Austen, a backdrop for some of her notable images. But beyond that, Austen, born in 1866, is recognized as one of the first woman photographers to document life outside of a studio.
