A good, well-written biography emphasizing the photographer as pioneer not only for being a woman in her field but specific accomplishments in industrial settings, commercial success with LIFE and Fortune as well as a war correspondent, etc. Much is stressed on her books and photography to highlight social justice issues to the Deep South (with Erskine Caldwell) to South African miners.
