Learning to See by Elise Hooper

Dorothea Lange’s photos depict humanity during the Depression’s Dustbowl and the incarceration of Japanese Americans in World War II. Her striking career as a pioneering professional photographer also highlight many of today’s social and political issues. As Lange’s career flourished, she faced challenges in marriage, child care, workers’ rights, and immigration. A terrific read for social and political historians, photographers, and art aficionados.
