On August 1, 1937, thousands of people lined the streets of Paris to mourn the death of photojournalist Gerda Taro (1910–1937): a 26-year-old Jewish émigré from Leipzig, Germany. Taro had died in Spain, while covering the Battle of Brunete, during the second year of the Spanish Civil War. Taro was a celebrated photographer and the first female photojournalist to be killed on the frontline.
.
Taro was eulogized as a courageous reporter who had sacrificed her life to bear witness to the suffering of civilians and troops during the Spanish Civil War. The media proclaimed her a left-wing heroine, a martyr of the anti-fascist cause and a role model for young women everywhere.
.
But, in the years that followed Taro slipped into obscurity. It was only years later that Taro would be fully-appreciated as a photojournalist in her own right.
.
Today on Magnum: On International Women's Day, we examine the career of the pioneering photojournalist. Link in bio.
