I enjoyed reading your post. I regularly watch Christiane Amanpour's show so saw her interview with Kate Winslet about her new movie, Lee, and plan to go see it. The Sunday Times interview that you posted was very interesting as well. Lee Miller is definitely an extraordinary woman that everyone should know about. Her time for the limelight is long overdue.

Yes. It seems as though she never sought the limelight, but I agree that having her step into it at long last is not only a deserved award for her but also a way of highlighting the work of many other women, past and present, who have fought, suffered and sacrificed for the greater good. The world is full of them.

I thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a story and getting a glimpse of the life of a fascinating woman. I look forward to the film with Kate Winslet. I believe that “losing oneself” by going deeply into a creative pursuit is healing.

Discovering Lee Miller some years ago was exciting and it’s been nothing but great having this huge personality as a subject in my work. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sorry I couldn't fit in the bit about solarization. Hard to write about someone who accomplished so much in such a short piece!
