Lee Miller, Woman of the Century

Lee Miller doesn't get nearly enough attention. She was a war photographer with no boundaries, a fashion model without shame (the first in a feminine napkin advertisement in teh 1920s), and a photographer who transcended Surrealism. Some photos below.

Anyone interested should read Carolyn Burke's biography of her, which is great except for the last chapter or so documenting her increasing sadness from loss of her youthful looks with age.
