“There are very few people who, in our pornified society, can visually capture and eroticize the female and feminine body without objectifying it. In her photographs, Linda Troeller captures the confidence, strength, and power in women’s erotic lives.” — Mimi Schippers, Associate Professor and Director, Women’s Studies Program, Tulane University.
