- Kati Horna (May 19, 1912 - October 19, 2000), born Katalin Deutsch Blau, was a Hungarian-born Mexican photojournalist, surrealist photographer and teacher.
- She was born in Budapest and lived in France, Berlin, Spain, and later was naturalized Mexican.
- Most of her work was lost during the Spanish Civil War.
- She was also one of the most influential women artists/photographers of her time.
- Through her photographs she was able to change the way that people viewed war.
- One way that Horna was able to do this was through the utilization of a strategy called "gendered witnessing".
- Gendered witnessing consisted of putting a more "feminine" view on the notion that war was a predominantly masculine thing.
- Horna became a legendary photographer after taking on a woman’s perspective of the war, she was able to focus on the behind the scenes, which led her to portraying the impact the war had on women and children.
