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made with and by the acclaimed British photographer, writer and feminist Jo Spence (1934–1992) alongside many unpublished photographs and documents.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.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Jo Spence: The Unknown Recordings opens an unfiltered window onto one of Britain's most influential and uncompromising photographers. Drawn from newly-discovered tapes, documents and unpublished photographs sourced from private and institutional collections, the material reveals a voice far more intimate, direct and searching than anything previously published.At its core are two extraordinary audio recordings: a seven-hour British Library interview in which Spence reflects with forensic clarity on her early life, her political formation, her experience of class and the responsibilities of documentary practice; and a deeply personal self-recorded tape - made only for herself - in which she thinks through work, illness, relationships and the conditions of her own life. Together they form the most sustained and revealing account of her inner world.The book also includes previously unseen images of the small London flat that served as her home, studio, workspace and meeting place: a space that helped shape her working life and her political imagination.Intense, candid and often devastatingly honest, The Unknown Recordings offers a sustained, unvarnished account of a working life shaped by precarious housing, chronic illness and low-paid, self-directed work - a unique insight into Jo Spence's mind, methods and convictions. And an essential resource for anyone interested in photography, feminism, working-class cultural history, and the ways in which personal experience and political commitment can be woven into a lifelong practice.
