Restless spirit: The life and work of Dorothea Lange by Elizabeth Partridge. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780439381963.

Dorothea Langes desperate and beautiful pictures of the migrant workers in California and her heartbreaking photographs of Japanese Americans interned during World War II put human faces on some of the darkest episodes in Americas history. Restless Spirit is an intimate portrait of a woman who struggled to balance her passion for her career and her love for her family, all the while producing some of the most celebrated, powerful photographic works in Americas history. "Langes stirring black-and-white photographs provide the drama in this biography of the famous camera artist . . . . This fine photo-essay invites you to come back and look at her work."
