This Day in History: 1910-06-07

Marion Post Wolcott, a photographer with the Farm Security Administration, is born on this day in 1910.  Wolcott, like Dorothea Lange and others in the FSA, documented poverty in the United States during the Great Depression. She was also an advocate for women’s rights. Her advice:  “Women have come a long way, but not far enough. . . Speak with your images from your heart and soul.”
