Ana Victoria Jimenez was born on August 31, 1941, in Mexico City. She was a member of the Communist Party and a feminine activist and she took courses in photography. This led her to experiment with methods, styles, techniques and she became a photographer.
Jimenez' work focused on women: doing domestic chores, in poverty and crisis. She also created photos of landscapes, often with "monstrous" trees or in erotic shapes.
In addition to her artistic photos she also documented marches, speeches, festivals and uprisings of various causes but concentrating on feminist aspects. Through this work Jimenez became an important archivist of the period of history from 1960-90. She also published many articles in various publications.
