Ninalee Craig is the woman in this legendary photograph “American Girl In Italy” taken by Ruth Orkin in 1951. Ninalee said, “Some people want to use it as a symbol of harassment of women, but that’s what we’ve been fighting all these years. It’s not a symbol of harassment. It’s a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time!” Back in 1951 she was 23, had just quit her job, and spent over 6 months traveling through France, Spain, and Italy by herself, something very few women did back then. Here she is wearing the same shawl she wore in the famous photograph.
