obituaries

the author and journalist Katie

Roiphe wrote in the Wall Street

Journal in 1997. “But I have to

admit that once I started read-

ing, I could not stop.”

“You feel better as you read

them,” she added. “They are as

effective as a lullaby, as soothing

as a teething ring. They give you

the warm feeling of comfort

food, like eating mashed pota-

toes, rice pudding and grilled

cheese sandwiches. The mes-

sage is that, no matter what,

your mother will always be

there.”

It was noted that the books

Ms. Wohlmuth produced with

Saline — they also included

“Best Friends” in 1998 — were

excellent gifts for Mother’s Day

and other occasions. Givers

would add their own photo-

graphs and stories to the back of

the book, sometimes in what Ms.

Wohlmuth described as an “ol-

ive branch” to mend a broken

relationship. At least one copy,

given from one sister to another,

was inscribed with the wish that

the recipient might see the tear

stains on its pages.

Sharon Barbara Josolowitz

was born in Bristol, Conn., on

Sept. 25, 1946. Her father was an

amateur photographer and ran

a general store, and her mother

was a homemaker.

Ms. Wohlmuth graduated

from the Moore College of Art &

Design in Philadelphia in 1975,

then joined the Inquirer.

“Her wide array of pictures —

Holocaust survivors, cowboys in

Oklahoma, mobsters on trial,

everyday life in Philadelphia,

the wonders of nature and ani-

mals, and other subjects —

earned her adoring respect from

readers and peers,” read her

obituary in the newspaper.

Ms. Wohlmuth’s marriage to

Edward Wohlmuth ended in

divorce. Larry Teacher died in

2014 after more than two dec-

ades of marriage.

Survivors include a step-

daughter, Rachael Teacher; a

sister; a brother; and a grand-

son.

In an interview with CBS’s

“The Early Show” in 1994, after

the release of a 10th anniversary

edition of “Sisters,” Ms. Wohl-

muth reflected on her relation-

ship with her own sister, eight

years her junior, and how it had

evolved since their schoolgirl

days when Ms. Wohlmuth made

her walk eight or nine steps

behind her.

“I learned that I am so blessed

to have a sister,” she said, “and

that my interest in finding out

about other women has helped

me understand my relationship

with my sister.”

Reached by phone, Ms. Wohl-

muth’s sister, Beth Josolowitz,

recalled a moment more than

three decades ago that she said

was etched in her memory, a

scene not unlike those her sister

went on to photograph.

She and Ms. Wohlmuth were

at a shopping mall in Connecti-

cut when they noticed two elder-

ly women walking arm in arm.

They looked like twins, Josolow-

itz said, although they might

have been sisters close in age.

Josolowitz could not recall

who uttered the words, whether

she to Ms. Wohlmuth or Ms.

Wohlmuth to her. But one of the

two, gazing upon the older wom-

en, remarked with certainty that

they, too, would be like that one

day.

Coretta Scott King, the widow of
the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
and her sister Edythe Scott
Bagley. Others, such as the
Green sisters — Bloomie, Dotty
and Minnie, who never lived
more than 10 minutes away
from one another — were not.
In one image, Ms. Wohlmuth
photographed three sisters
wrapped together in a single
sheet. The youngest had been
diagnosed with breast cancer,
prompting the other two to
undergo preventive mastecto-
mies because of a family predis-
position to the disease. The
sister who was sick died before
the book was published.
In another image, a 7-year-old
girl tends to her 11-year-old
sister, who has AIDS.
Such sessions called upon all
Ms. Wohlmuth’s experience as a
photojournalist.
“I definitely don’t come in
shooting,” she told the Jewish
Exponent in 1997. “I even leave
my bag in the car sometimes....
I’m always stepping back and
watching for that certain mo-
ment to occur. It’s not like a
formal portrait. There’s got to be
something else there.”
The book, which was featured
on television programs includ-
ing Oprah Winfrey’s talk show,
became a phenomenon. It was
lodged on the New York Times
bestseller list for 63 weeks. After
a decade, there were more than
1 million copies in print.
Publishing houses quickly
saw the commercial potential of
“Sisters”-like sequels. Double-
day gave Ms. Wohlmuth and
Saline what was reported to be a
$2.75 million contract for their
next two books.
The deal sparked what the
Times called “the mother of all
coffee table book battles.” In
1997, shortly before Doubleday
released “Mothers & Daughters,”
Running Press published
“Daughters & Mothers” with
text by Lauren Cowen, photo-
graphs by Jayne Wexler and a
cover design strongly reminis-
cent of the front of “Sisters.”
Ms. Wohlmuth and Saline
learned of Running Press’s up-
coming release when U.S. Su-
preme Court Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, who was to be fea-
tured with her daughter in their
book, sent a fax informing them
that she had been asked to
appear in the other.
By then Ms. Wohlmuth’s hus-
band had retired from Running
Press, which was then operated
by his brother.
“When the authors of the
best-selling ‘Sisters’ choose the
theme for their next portrait of
tender family relationships,” a
reporter for the Times cheekily
wrote in a 1997 article about the
episode, “this much is certain: It
will not be a dreamy paean to
the brother-in-law.”
Both books ultimately made
their way onto the bestseller list
— a reflection, perhaps, of the
elemental importance of the
relationship between mothers
and daughters, daughters and
mothers, in whatever order they
are listed.
“I confess that, at first, I was
prepared to be sickened by the
glowing photographs and sug-
ary stories of feminine together-
ness. Motherhood is an issue
that reduces sharp-witted, intel-
ligent people to cooing cliches,”

Captured female bonds

for best-selling books

APRIL SAUL/PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

Photojournalist Sharon J. Wohlmuth, seen in 2009, spent two
decades with the Philadelphia Inquirer, covering the collapse of the
Soviet Union, famine and war in Africa, and the AIDS crisis.

“I learned that I am so blessed to have a sister,

and that my interest in finding out about other

women has helped me understand my

relationship with my sister.”
