Ruth Orkin (1921-1985) embarked on an extraordinary journey at the age of 17 in 1939. She set out on a daring bicycle trip across the United States, starting from Los Angeles and ending in New York. Her audacity and unprecedented crossing captured the attention of people and the local press, who extensively covered her adventure. Upon her return, Ruth penned a manuscript detailing her experiences, which remained published for some time. This remarkable journey had a profound impact on her life and career. Twelve years later, Ruth transitioned into the world of professional photography, and her most iconic image, American Girl in Italy (1951), was born. This masterpiece, a combination of photographs, scrapbook pages, excerpts from her diary, maps, and various documents, takes viewers back to the extraordinary adventure of one of the 20th century's most renowned female photographers.
