Iconic images, that captured hardships most Americans were facing during the Great Depression.

First woman to win Guggenheim fellowship Dorothea Lange did not receive the outcry she wanted from the public for her pictures when she originally published them, but over time her pictures have received the deeper meaning they deserve.
