Athens
Exposure was a widely used method of getting rid of babies that parents didn't want. Babies would be left outside, often in a pot or a vase, to die. It was practiced in Ancient times.

Ancient Athens.

Women had no say in whether their babies were exposed. The fathers were the only ones who had a say.
photography
In photography, exposure is used to mean two things. Photograhic films or sensors have a certain senitivity. That means that a certain amount of light needs to be able to reach the film or sensor, before the image is correctly exposed. An exposure can also refer to a photo exposed that way.
