For years, Louise Rosskam's important contribution to the formative years of American documentary expression went virtually unrecognized. With the fine work of Laura Katzman and Beverly Brannan, we can at last see and understand the profound depth and beauty of Rosskam's work. Her own story, revealed so eloquently through this compelling book, is a powerful reminder of the lasting resonance of the documentary artist. This book--like the photographer herself--is a true gem. --Tom Rankin, Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University We can be grateful to Laura Katzman and Beverly Brannan for their thorough study of Louise Rosskam, which gives her a deserved place on the roster of notable twentieth-century documentary photographers. In unraveling the mystery of Rosskam's previous obscurity, the authors illuminate an American culture very different from our own. --Bonnie Yochelson, author of Berenice Abbott: Changing New York and Esther Bubley: On Assignment
