Photographic Saturdays: Margaret Bourke-White

Margaret Bourke-White was possibly the most pioneering American female photographer in the 20th century.

She is best known as the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures of Soviet workers, the first female war correspondent She was the first female ever allowed to photograph in combat zones) and the first female photographer to work for Life, her photography appeared on the first cover. I highly recommend her biography, Portrait of Myself, for people interested in the work of early female documentary photography.
