The Alice Austen House needs you!
Alice Austen, one of America’s earliest and most prolific female photographers broke away from the constraints of the Victorian era to create her own life. Her home, located in Staten Island, now serves as a museum dedicated to her work and life. The Alice Austen House Museum is up for the 2012 Partners in Preservation grant — a grant that will allow the museum to help preserve a very important part of the history of photography.
Every vote counts. Pictured above, Alfred Eisenstaedt pushes photographer Alice Austen in a wheelchair, Staten Island, New York, in 1951, one year before Austen died.

If you haven’t been to the Alice Austen house in Staten Island, it’s worth seeing. She was a badass bike advocate in Manhattan before most women rode bikes, she carried around a camera that weighs more than most dogs, and she was absolutely an awesome Dyke to Watch Out For.
