Dorothea Lange was a photographer in California with her family and husband. After her divorce, she remarried a professor at Berkley and was hired by the government to photograph the depression and issues going on in the country. She was running on a low income and became an iconic for people who looked at her art for her ability to persevere and raise her family. She had a passion for exposing people's deeper emotion, beyond the surface images. She later moved on to photography of the pearl harbor bombing and the internment camps. She was struck by the imprisonment of these people because they were innocent. Her photography was emotional and really drove people to think.
