Margaret Bourke-White Margaret was born on June 14th, 1904, in the Bronx, New York. Her father, Joseph White, was an inventor and engineer, and her mother, Minnie Bourke, was a forward thinking woman, especially for the early 1900s.

Margaret began working on stories for the premier issue, eight months away. ... Margaret was finished photographing the hogs, she left most of her camera equipment to be burned.

Margaret was attracted to Russia, but her editors at Fortune doubted that she would gain access. ... Russia was full of red tape for Bourke-White.

In the summer of 1932, Margaret went back to Russia, this time to film.
