Some women have passed through history shrouded in a fog of rumors and clichés. They've been reduced to simplistic archetypes: the unscrupulous seductress, the frivolous spendthrift, the calculating manipulator. And yet, behind these labels lie educated, creative, strategic, and indomitable women. Too free for their time, too outspoken for the comfort of others.
 The book REP – Rumors, Enigmas, Posterity presents 50 portraits that question the construction of women's reputations and restore face, voice, and complexity to those who were judged before being listened to. Through a double exposure technique, a decoding lens reveals what history has hidden: a fresh perspective on those who have been caricatured for too long.
