Mia Green (1875-1949) was a Swedish war correspondent and one of the world’s first female war photographers, documenting a part of Europe’s history between 1915 and 1918. During that period, 75,000 Russian, German, and Austro-Hungarian war invalids were exchanged at the small border town of Haparanda, Sweden, where Mia Green was working as a photographer. Her photographs of survivors of World War I are a powerful record of a little-known part of European history.
