Anja Niedringhaus is one of the most important women photographers of
her generation. She reported on crisis areas such as the Balkans, Iraq,
Libya, and, time and again, Afghanistan-- where on April 4th, 2014, she
was killed by an assassin during her coverage of the presidential
elections. Her photographs are lasting documents of human suffering and
the will to survive. Numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize in
2005, made her an icon during her own lifetime.
