MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE (1904–1971) was a photojournalist of many “firsts”: first female photographer for Life magazine, first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union, first to shoot the cover photo for Life, and first female war correspondent. Bourke-White (near left) was well known for her photos of WWII—including concentration camps—but also for her documentation of the India-Pakistan partition, including a photo of Gandhi at his spinning wheel (far left).
