Once heralded as the world's prettiest photographer, Bunny Yeager had a massive influence on 20th-century pop culture, though few people know her name. Whether by popularizing the bikini, helping discover Bettie Page, shaping the image of Playboy or inventing the selfie, Bunny Yeager was a trailblazer whose work bucked against conservative 1950s America and helped pave the way for the feminist movement and the sexual revolution. Yet the changes she helped usher in would soon render her a forgotten relic — until now.
