Over my 30 years of teaching photography many of my best students were women, although not all of them would appreciate being called women photographers. I've also given permission to Million Women Rise to use my photographs from previous years without charge. Regards, Peter Dear Munch Magus,

May I suggest that you could consider encouraging this type of female empowerment by passing on your skills in training to a woman photographer and enjoying her perspectives on the march and rally? There are many ways in which men can offer genuine and much needed help to Million Women Rise and these are listed on the website.
