Key excerpts / pages

  • First woman: “She was the first woman to join the agency.”
  • No mention of The Family of Man exhibition.

Notes

  • Per CREDIBILITY.md Wikipedia is treated as a pointer source — the 1912 birth year and Philadelphia birthplace should ideally be promoted via a Tier-1/2 Arnold biography (e.g., Arnold’s own In Retrospect, or a museum catalog monograph). Not available in this session.
  • The birth year 1912 here corroborates the Magnum page (src-magnum-eve-arnold) against ICP’s stub which gives 1913.
  • “First woman to join Magnum” — this characterization appears in Wikipedia but is not independently confirmed by any other source fetched in this session. Recorded with pointer-only status.
