Books: She Was a Bauhaus Trained Documentary Photographer. She Was Also a Spy for the USSR

Over the past decade, scholars and curators have begun rewriting the history of photography by spotlighting women whose lives and work had been overlooked. Among those women is British-Austrian photographer Edith Tudor-Hart, though her obscurity is somewhat ironic, since there are hundreds of MI-5 files on her in the UK. The daughter of Austrian socialists, Tudor-Hart trained in photography at the the Bauhaus in Dessau, Germany, in 1928 and went on to become a talented professional. But she was also a spy for the Soviet Union. Tudor-Hart was the subject of an exhibition in London in 2025 and now is the focus of a new book from author Daria Santini, "A Woman Named Edith: Emigre, Photographer and Secret Agent."
