business, studying science, etc. If they were making progress outside the home, their work was often not credited properly, such in the case of Rosalind Franklin, whose photograph “51” evolved the fields of science, medicine and more. Rosalind Franklin was born in London, England in 1920 to a wealthy Jewish family. Though, her family valued education and public service, some sources say that her father did not believe in university education for women. Nevertheless, Franklin enrolled at Newnham Women’s

mass killing event left a mark in history, this was an act against humanity. The book “Night” was a written perspective from Elie Wiesel, who was kept in one of the most dangerous camps with his family in Auschwitz, during the Holocaust. A letter was written by Regina Kandt to her lover while she was transitioning to a camp, and a photograph was taken during the Holocaust of the aftermath of the mass killing genocide.

Administration, embarked on a nationwide quest to document, collect and create a pictorial record of American life during the 1930s and 1940s. Spanning all fifty states, the photographers produced more than 175,000 black and white negatives, crafting one of the most immense and important photographic compositions in American history.

Some of Mann’s most disturbing work is her pictures of decomposing bodies at a body farm owned by the University of Tennessee. The bodies there are donated for scientific research of the decomposition process.

Taylor Sue, art critic, explains that the photographs immediately appear absurd and bring to light the offensive nature of the paperbacks towards native women.
