Gerda Taro took some of the most dramatic war time photos ever seen before her life was cut tragically short.

Taro fearlessly turned her lens on conflict to capture arresting but sensitive photographs of fighting at the front in the Spanish Civil War. Widely considered the first female photojournalist to cover a war, she was also the first to die doing so.

To honor Taro’s dedication to delivering images of the war to the world, Google dedicated its Doodle on Wednesday to the pioneering photojournalist on her 108th birthday.
