Really enjoyed this book. It is well written and reveals so much about the famous photographer, her life, what motivated her, and the context of her photography. Of course I knew her photographs, but had no idea about how she had moved from society portrait artist to social activist. And of her struggles with dealing with ordinary life. Well worth reading as it is a real pleasure.
