Fascinating and well-researched biography of such an unusual woman,
By Beverly Appel (Las Vegas, New Mexico United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Margaret Bourke-White: A Biography (Radcliffe Biography Series) (Paperback)
I totally loved this book. The author seemed to be inside Margaret Bourke-White's skin in her ability to take a very complex woman and make her come alive to the reader. After coming across a book of photos by Bourke-White of the horror that hit India after Pakistan came into existence, I wanted to read her biography only to find out how she could take these photos, and her concentration camp photos, and have them all in focus. I thought her hands had to shake looking at the scenes she was photographing, and knowing the equipment she was using, I couldn't figure out how she did this. There are a lot of books on Maragaret Bourke-White, so I selected this one at random, but was really pleased to find the answer to this very question quoted directly from Bourke-White herself. So I figured the author must have put a lot of thought into this book, knowing that might be a question readers would have about this amazing woman--who insisted on wearing high heels as she walked across steel beams to get her photos!
