The Women War Photographers exhibition at the Liberation of Paris museum, which opens on International Women’s Day on 8 March, takes stock of the huge contribution to war reporting by women in the 20th and 21st centuries. Through the lens of eight photographers from Lee Miller to Anja Niedringhaus, the exhibition shines a light on women’s involvement in conflicts as fighters, victims, or witnesses.
"Women have been on the frontlines for almost a century, taking images without hiding the horror of what they have seen. Some have even died for their profession," says Sylvie Zaidman, historian, curator and director of the Musée de la Libération de Paris/Musée du Général Leclerc/Musée Jean Moulin.
