Very famous female press/war photographer was Lee Miller. A very fascinating life. She was one of the foremost models in the late 20s, working with Steichen. Then became assistant and lover of Man Ray. Here a documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8YyjHKQxpk
Pre-WWII in Europe it would be a German 9x12 camera something similar to an AVUS and flash powdeer, the one Brassai clip shows the powder being lit. I say German but a small number similar camears were made in the UK, France and other European countries.
