Wow, Martha Gellhorn looks pretty cool. Wife of Hemingway, too.

Lee Miller: artist, war correspondent, looker (sry). Made innovations in photography alongside Man Ray. The Getty had a great exhibit on her a couple years back.

Thanks guys, a lot of really interesting women here, who I mostly knew nothing of. Am intrigued to find some of Lee Miller's art online.

Anyone got any more?
