Dorothea Lange was born in Hoboken, New Jersey. She was an American documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for her Depression-era work for the Farm Security Administration. She was educated in photography at Columbia University in New York City. Her photographs of migrant workers were often presented with captions featuring the words of the workers themselves. Lange’s first exhibition, held in 1934, established her reputation as a skilled documentary photographer. In 1940, she received the Guggenheim Fellowship.
