Sally Fox (née Cherniavsky; December 30, 1929 – February 25, 2006) was an American photographer, art collector and editor.

She worked as a photographer, coordinator and picture editor for Houghton Mifflin and was especially known for her curated collections of historical images of women's lives which she published during the 1980s.

[3] Her parents were Joseph Cherniavsky and Lara (née Lieberman), Jewish musicians who had emigrated to the United States from the Soviet Union during the Russian Civil War.

[4][5] Her family soon moved back to New York City, where they had lived previously; their stay in Hollywood was relatively short.

[2] After her graduation she started working as an assistant to the librarian and publicity director of the Museum of Modern Art.

[2] In 1981 while planning a months-long trip to Paris, where Maurice would be teaching for a semester, a friend showed her a postcard from the Bibliothèque nationale de France which reproduced a historical depiction of a woman sculptor in the process of carving a statue.
