American Girl in Italy: The story behind the iconic photo

For 75 years, American Girl in Italy has been one of the world's most famous photographs. The image of a young woman walking through a crowd of men has been interpreted as everything from street harassment to female empowerment.

To mark the anniversary, photographer Ruth Orkin's family is releasing a never-before-seen frame captured moments before the iconic shot. Orkin's daughter, Mary Engel, joins Q guest host Garvia Bailey to share the story behind the image.
