This New York Times piece is an interview with photojournalist Lynsey Addario, who was held captive in Libya in March 2011. Since her capture and subsequent release, there have been those who argue that she should not have been in Libya working in the first place because of her gender. This interview is in Addario’s own words and explains why she feels her gender is non-issue in regards to her work as a war-time photojournalist.
