Muscovites in 1956 in pictures by LIFE photographer Lisa Larsen
Lisa Larsen was born in Germany, but her personality was formed already as a citizen of the United States of America. She was the first woman to be awarded the Photographer of the Year Award by the National Association of Photographers in 1958. It is quite logical that almost everywhere she visited, and Lisa traveled quite a lot, the photographer paid special attention to women. In the 50-60s, the problems of women's equality began to be gradually resolved, which means that Lisa Larsen was in the right place at the right time. The photo shoot that we invite you to see is one of the last in the life of the American female photographer.
