Synopsis

This book brings together, for the first time, full transcripts of key historic recordings made with and by the acclaimed British photographer, writer and feminist Jo Spence (1934–1992) alongside many unpublished photographs and documents. Centred on the small, overcrowded flat she shared on Upper Street in Islington – a space simultaneously a home, studio, office and meeting place – the book opens up the everyday conditions from which her work, collaborations and politics were organised.

The recordings include a landmark British Library oral history interview and newly discovered tapes in which Spence talks frankly about her life and work. Together they offer a sustained, unvarnished account of a working life, shaped by precarious housing, chronic illness and low-paid, self-directed cultural work.

This is an intimate, often unsettling self-portrait in text and pictures, and an indispensable resource for understanding Spence’s contribution to feminist, socialist and documentary photography.
