Lee Miller: A Woman's War

Lee Miller: A Woman's War

The first in-depth look at Lee Miller's perspective on women in the Second World War, as seen through her photography and commentary from experts in the field
Lee Miller photographed innumerable women during her career, first as a fashion photographer and then as a journalist during the Second World War, documenting the social consequences of the conflict, particularly the impact of the war on women across Europe. Her work as a war photographer is perhaps that for which she is best rememberedâ€•in fact she was among the most important photographers on the subject of the twentieth century. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, Lee Miller: A Woman's War tells the story beyond the battlefields of the Second World War by way of Millerâ€™s extraordinary photographs of the women whose lives were affected.

Introductions by Lee Millerâ€™s son, Antony Penrose, and author Hilary Roberts precede Millerâ€™s work, divided into chronological chapters: Women Before the Second World War; Women in Wartime Britain 1939â€“1944; Women in Wartime Europe 1944â€“1945; and Women and the Aftermath of War. Millerâ€™s photographs, many previously unpublished, are accompanied by extended captions that place the images within the context of womenâ€™s roles within the landscape of war. 156 illustrations
