Few visions of modernity are more potent than that of the itinerant interwar camerawoman: clad in trousers, ranging across public squares, valleys, and mountains, mixing with militias, and armed with a Leica or Rolleiflex. Dora Maar (1907-1997) Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942), and Gerda Taro (1910-1937) forged a new métier: the female photojournalist. Their cameras firstly set them apart, but their uniquely modernist materiality is discernible elsewhere, as this lecture will explore.

As personal stories of the Second World War fade from living memory, it is vital that these stories and the objects that accompany them are preserved. The Linen Hall is working with Their Finest Hour, a University of Oxford project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund to collect and digitise objects and stories from this time. Bring your diaries, letters, photographs, memoirs, objects, or stories about your family’s experience in the war to be recorded and added to the online archive. Volunteers will be on hand from 10am to 4pm to welcome you and help record your story and photograph your objects.
