As a former professional photographer Lee is one of my all time favourites. Her life was amazing - as the world’s first supermodel, which largely came about after a contentious and historic photo advertising women’s sanitary products to her groundbreaking work with Man Ray and her magnum opus, WW2. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for this thought-provoking piece Julie. You've made me reflect how it's part of the role of biographical writing to reveal these hidden, very personal, histories that are actually part of the history of humanity. I want to read the book and watch the film now.
Hi Paul, thanks so much for taking the time to comment and add the extra history about Lee Miller. You, too, are a person of many talents!
