"For most of
history, Anonymous was a woman.” Virginia Woolf
Mayme Lou Bruce, known as Stevey, was married to James Bruce, a prolific
amateur filmmaker and explorer who had a particular interest in Melanesia but
also filmed in other areas of the world.
As with other husband-and-wife teams, in the Human Studies Film Archives collections, we know
that Stevey accompanied her husband and photographed their adventures. As is so often true, the full extent to which
she contributed remains “anonymous.”
