Gerda Taro
Gerda Taro was a pioneering photojournalist and anti-fascist activist born in Leipzig in 1910. She is best known for her work during the Spanish Civil War, where she captured striking images of the conflict, often focusing on the experiences of women and the harsh realities of war. Taro's partnership with fellow photographer Robert Capa not only shaped her career but also left a lasting impact on war photography. Tragically, her life was cut short in 1937 when she was killed in action, but her legacy endures as one of the first female war photographers, highlighting the role of women in documenting history.
