If your only reference to Farm Security Administration photographs during the depression is Dorothea Lange, take a look at the outstanding work of Wolcott who traveled the country with her Rolliflex and Speed Graphic cameras, highlighting the conditions of the poor and oppressed.

Washington Post staff writer Paul Hendrickson celebrates Wolcott’s three years with the FSA and her decision to give up photography to start a family. Gorgeous examples of her work are in here, too.
