Margaret Bourke-White (June 14, 1904 – August 27, 1971) was an American photographer and documentary photographer. 

During these works, she removed the photograph from the position of a secondary element accompanying the written news and turned it into a photo essay with a narrative value in its own right. She became one of the first four photographers on the staff of Life magazine, which started publication in 1936. She married the famous American writer Erskine Caldwell in 1939 and went to Europe with her husband to watch World War II on behalf of Life magazine.

She illustrated the siege of Moscow and the Allied landing on Italy. After the end of the war, her photographs of the prisoners in the concentration camps in Germany caused great repercussions. She announced to the world India's struggle for independence between 1946-1948, the life of black miners in South Africa in 1949-1950, and the Korean War in 1952. She contracted Parkinson's disease in 1952 but continued her photography work. After this date, she made two more works on the life of the Jesuits in America and the images of the USA from the plane. She retired from Life magazine in 1969. She died on August 27, 1971, in Stamford, Connecticut.
