Lee Miller photographed innumerable women during her career, first as a fashion photographer and then as a journalist during the Second World War, documenting the 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 best remembered; in fact, she was among the 20th century's most important photographers on the subject. Published to coincide with an exhibition at the Imperial War Museum, Lee Miller: A Womans War tells the story beyond the battlefields of the Second World War by way of Miller's extraordinary photographs of the women whose lives were affected. Introductions by Hilary Roberts and Antony Penrose, Lee Miller's son, precede Miller's work, which is divided into chronological chapters. Miller's photographs, many previously unpublished, are accompanied by extended captions that place the images within the context of women's roles within the landscape of war.

"THE PHOTOGRAPHER AT WORK IN WAR," North Bay Nugget. April 2, 1943. Page 9. --- In this rapidly paced global war the task of taking still and action camera pictures becomes a job which depends solely on speed and team work wherever and how tough the fighting might be. Unlike World War 1, today's cameramen are up on the front line with the fighting men. Their job is to give the public an up-to-date view of scenes both behind the lines and in the thick of the toughest kind of warfare. Here it is shown how pictures are raced to headquarters for developing, printing and distribution. Upper left, a Canadian still photographer is shown in action with his camera. Upper right Despatch Rider W. A. Hall of Calgary, Alberta, delivers the negatives during a night run. Lower left, another rider. Pte. D. R. George DeRiviers of Montreal, delivers prints to the Press Relations Office. Accepting the prints is Pte. C. M. Paget of Toronto. A Canadian Army film cameraman, Lieut. G. Noble, is seen in the lower right picture filming Canadians during recent manoeuvres with Lieut. John McDougall of Montreal directing operations.

Hi, I'm Safaa, a mother of two girls. I'm living through the horrors of war here as you read my message. I'm fighting death and running with my two children, wateen and Naya, from one place to another to save their lives. I'm escaping a real genocide and the spread of diseases and epidemics.

My husband is a journalist who was seriously injured in the head and almost killed while covering the events. I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us.

Your generosity has the potential to make a huge difference.

The Morning after...

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine hasn't vanished. Once again we spent last night in the corridor, away from the windows and the shattering glass. The historic centre of Odesa, where I live, is covered with scars that are getting bigger and bigger. The Odesa National Fine Arts Museum, a cosy art gallery, which turns 124 years old today, was attacked by russian missiles and shaheds. There is pain and wrath instead of celebration. And the best antidepressant for me - a walk in the park on a sunny November day.

james is very fascinated by muggle cameras. lily and regulus notice this of course and lily pitches an idea: to get james a camera for his birthday. they save up the money they need for a higher quality camera and wrap it up in a fancy box and present it to him on his birthday. the smile james gives them is worth every penny they spent.

they expected the obsession that came after. james took his camera everywhere, always taking pictures, not just of the the scenery or himself, but of his friends and family and most importantly of lily and regulus. what they didn't expect was that james had all of their photos printed and compiled them into an album, decorated it and drew little hearts and stars and flowers on it and wrote down little notes of what had happened the day the photos were taken. he revealed this album to them on their anniversary as a shared gift.

some of the many pictures james has taken of his lovers:

My name is Shatha, a mother of three children from Gaza, living through extremely harsh conditions. We have been displaced over 15 times, searching for safety, but to no avail. I have two daughters, Toleen (7 years) and Layan (2 years), and my young son Walid (4 years), who was born with a disability and is unable to walk. Walid used to receive regular physical therapy before the war, but now his condition has worsened due to the current crisis.

This is now the state of my three children in the war; they suffer from illness and malnutrition and are in need of safety and healthcare 💔🥺

Today, we are enduring severe humanitarian conditions, lacking access to food, clean water, and medicine. My children need basic essentials like milk, diapers, and clean clothes

Toleen, 7 years old, suffered during the war and couldn't finish her studies in first grade. She became sad because she lost her playroom. She loves drawing and the sea

🚨🚨 Walid, 4 years old, is the reason I started this campaign. He was born with a disability and cannot stand or walk. He used to receive regular physical therapy sessions, but due to the war, everything stopped, and his condition worsened. We need to take him out of Gaza to continue his treatment. He also requires special treatments, medical supplies, and a daily diaper

Little beautiful Layan, 2 years old, knows nothing about her childhood and has never had her own toys. She frequently falls ill due to malnutrition and the lack of healthy food, clean water, and medicine.

This Campaign is a Call for Hope, to Guide Our Children Toward a Better Tomorrow ✨

This call is for all who believe that every child deserves a life of dignity and safety. Your contribution is not just a donation; it’s an act of shaping a new life for Walid and her siblings, ensuring they grow up in a world filled with hope, away from the horrors of war.

Thanks to Your Support, We Have Made Progress, but We Still Need Your Help 💖🕊️

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised €3,297 of our €20,000 goal. Your support has shown us that humanity is still alive and strong. Your help is a light of hope that we’re building our children's future on.

We kindly ask for you to continue supporting us by donating or sharing our story. Together, we can ensure that our children have the safe, bright future they deserve, filled with peace and opportunities.

"Even though I was a bit overwhelmed, I was also a confident young man, and I wanted to make my mark. But I guess if I were to have some advice for me during that general time in my life, it would be: “Patience.” [M]y journey with the character and with Star Wars has at times been a bumpy one… but I’m in a good place with it now. And so that’s why I say patience."
