Margaret Bourke-White is a woman of many firsts. She was the first photographer for Fortune magazine, in 1929. In 1930, she was the first Western photographer allowed into the Soviet Union. Henry Luce hired her as the first woman photojournalist for Life magazine, in 1935, and one of her photographs was its first cover (November 23, 1936). She was the first woman war correspondent and the first to be allowed to work in combat zones during World War II.
