Nice article from the Guardian Review by author William Boyd about the "forgotten" women photographers who documented war and wartime ...

Although not technically a "war" photographer you could add Leni Riefenstahl to the collection of women photographers as well.

Controversial as she is, she was still a woman in a field dominated by men.
