She was best known as the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures of Soviet industry, the firsthand American female war photojournalist, and the first female photographer for Henry Luce’s LIFE magazine, where her photograph appeared on the first cover.
Born in New York in 1904, she graduated from Cornell University and began her career as a staff photographer in the early days of Fortune magazine, before becoming a photographer for LIFE magazine. Besides taking her camera over most of the globe, Miss Bourke-White also has two films to her credit: Eyes on Russia, which also appeared in book form, and Red Republic. She collaborated with Erskine Caldwell on three books: You Have Seen Their Faces (1937), North of the Danube (1939), and Say, Is This the U.S.A.? (1941).
During World War II she covered many war fronts for LIFE, including China, Russia, Africa, Italy, England and France, and wrote two books: Shooting the Russian War (1942) and Purple Heart Valley (1944).
Miss Bourke-White died of Parkinson’s disease in 1971, about eighteen years after she developed her first symptoms.ver menos
