A powerful image capturing a Sahrawi woman in the early years of the Western Sahara conflict. Spengler, a renowned female war photographer, documented the fierce determination of the Sahrawi people as they rose to defend their ancestral land against the new invaders following the colonial withdrawal.
This photograph serves as a testament to the pivotal role of Sahrawi women who took up arms on the frontlines, embodying the spirit of a nation fighting for its sovereignty and territorial integrity during the mid-1970s.
