Documentary art photographer, Nance Ackerman has been photographing women for ten years. With the assistance of a Canada Council Explorations Grant, Ackerman produced a solo exhibit of her photographs of native women: Wathahine, which has been on display at the Museum of Civilization in Hull, and at the McCord Museum in Montreal. Ackerman's photographs can be seen on the front cover of TIME, Macleans, and Canadian Geographic magazines as well as the Smithsonian. Her work can also be seen at the Aperture Foundation in New York. In the winter of 2002, Ackerman will be teaching a course in Guatemala on photographing Mayan culture...with respect.

She is also editor of The Gazette's quarterly Trends magazine, and a contributing editor at the Canadian magazine, Elm Street. In 1997, she created Calling All Girls! a forum where girls between the ages of 9 and 15 have met guests like activist Gloria Steinem, astronaut Julie Payette and Olympic diver Anne Montminy. She lives in Montreal, Canada with her husband and two children, ages 11 and 14. Each year since 1994, Nance Ackerman and Donna Nebenzhal have produced a woman's daybook/agenda that documents the work women have done to help each other and affect real change. Through words and pictures, these agendas - the first two based in Quebec only and the next three documenting women across Canada - have celebrated women. Young and old, rich and poor, the subjects of the agendas have a common goal: making life better for those around them.
