The Photographer Who Found the Faces of the Depression
Dorothea Lange saw the stories that others overlooked. Before she lifted her camera lens to capture some of the most iconic photographs in American history, she focused her attention on the downtrodden. A childhood battle with polio left her with a limp, granting her a deep, personal empathy for those facing hardship. When the Great Depression struck, Dorothea traveled across the United States. She documented bankers waiting in breadlines, formerly enslaved people struggling to survive, and homeless families sleeping on sidewalks. Through her fieldbook and her camera, she captured the undeniable face of a struggling nation. This lyrical picture book biography invites you to view the world through the eyes of an influential artist who used her unique perspective and powerful images to advocate for the forgotten.
