Imperious, generous and moreover intrepid, Margaret Bourke-White was the first female war correspondent working behind the lines. A thorn in the side of male photographers, she was always in the middle of combat, capturing the true photos of war. One of the first to enter Buchenwald in 1945, her photos are some of the most heartbreaking of the war. Her body of work is one of the most produced and famous of the 20th century.
Photographer Catherine Leroy (1944 - 2006). During the Vietnam War, she shot some of the most brutal photographs to come out of the country. (Captured by NVA during Tet Offensive.)
Melissa Stockwell: She was the first female American soldier in history to lose a limb in active combat and was the first Iraq War veteran to compete in the Paralympic Games as a swimmer in 2008. She was one of four athletes featured in a documentary called “Warrior Champions”. She completed her residency in prosthetics, where she fit other amputees with prosthetic devices.
I don't listen to Fifth Harmony, but I have immense respect for Lauren and the other girls.
