Mary Steen
Mary Dorothea Frederica Steen (28 October 1856 – 7 April 1939) was a
Danish photographer and
feminist. At the age of 28, she opened a studio in
Copenhagen where she specialized in indoor photography. She later became
Denmark's first female court photographer, working not only with the Danish royal family but, at the invitation of
Princess Alexandra, with the British royal family too. She also played an important part in improving conditions for female workers and encouraging women to take up the profession of photography.
