Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits

We all know Dorothea Lange's iconic photos — the Migrant Mother holding her child, the shoeless children of the Dust Bowl — but now renowned American historian Linda Gordon brings them to three-dimensional life in this groundbreaking exploration of Lange's transformation into a documentarist. Using Lange's life to anchor a moving social history of twentieth-century America, Gordon masterfully re-creates bohemian San Francisco, the Depression, and the Japanese-American internment camps.

Accompanied by more than one hundred images — many of them previously unseen and some formerly suppressed — Gordon has written a sparkling, fast-moving story that testifies to her status as one of the most gifted historians of our time. Winner of the 2010 Bancroft Prize, Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits is the definitive biography of a heroic chronicler of America's Depression and one of the twentieth century's greatest photographers.
