She is regarded as the first woman photojournalist to have died while covering the frontline in a war. Taro’s grave at Père Lachaise Cemetery was designed by Alberto Giacometti and features the falcon Horus, with the epitaph “So nobody will forget your unconditional struggle for a better world” (in French and Catalan).
