Summary: Lee Miller photographed innumerable women during her career, first as a fashion photographer and then as a journalist during the Second World War, documentingthe 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 bestremembered—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 at War tells the story beyond the battlefields of theSecond World War by way of Miller’s extraordinary photographs of the womenwhose lives were affected. Introductions by Lee Miller’s son, Antony Penrose, and author Hilary Roberts precede Miller’s work, divided into chronological chapters: Women Before the SecondWorld War; Women in Wartime Britain 1939–1944; Women in Wartime Europe1944–1945; and Women and the Aftermath of War. Miller’s photographs, many previously unpublished, are accompanied by extended captions that place the imageswithin the context of women’s roles within the landscape of war.
