Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

With 561,797 views on Wednesday, 1 August 2018 our article of the day is Gerda Taro.

Gerta Pohorylle (1 August 1910 – 26 July 1937), known professionally as Gerda Taro, was a Jewish war photographer active during the Spanish Civil War. She is regarded as the first woman photojournalist to have died while covering the frontline in a war.

Taro was the companion and professional partner of photographer Robert Capa. The name "Robert Capa" was originally an alias that Taro and Capa (born Endre Friedmann) shared, an invention meant to mitigate the increasing political intolerance in Europe and to attract the lucrative American market. A significant amount of what is credited as Robert Capa's early work was actually produced by Taro.

This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:01 UTC on Thursday, 2 August 2018.
