Though her career was short-lived, she was well-known for her "fearless reportage."

"By the age of 26, her searing battlefield images made her a household name, even though many of those images were misattributed to Capa," reads the Google blogpost.

In July 1937, Taro was killed near El Escorial, near Madrid, while photographing scenes form the frontline of the Spanish Civil War.

"Here’s to Gerda Taro, who had a photographer’s eye, a journalist’s soul, and a warrior’s courage," the post continued.
