In 1919, a year before American women were given the right to vote, Margaret Bourke-White wrote in her diary, “I want to do all the things that women never do!” Just 10 years later, she was hired as the first photographer for Fortune magazine. As a trailblazer in the nascent field of photojournalism, Bourke-White became a person of many firsts, including having her photograph of the Fort Peck Dam appear on the first cover of the freshly released Life magazine in 1936, being the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union, the first woman to fly with a U.S.combat mission, and the first woman allowed to fly in a B-47 bomber. “Her accomplishments would have been significant in any historical time, no matter who had done them—the fact that she was a woman in those very early prefeminist years makes them all the more remarkable,” says author and professor Lynne Iglitzin.
