People to Know Today series. This book documents Lange's early determination to become a photographer in a largely male-dominated field and her subsequent work during the Depression and World War II. Her story is told in prosaic language, but liberal use of the subject's own photographs makes the presentation more engaging. For an older audience, Elizabeth Partridge's Restless Spirit is a more compelling biography. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2008
