This biographical novel about twentieth-century American photographer Margaret Bourke-White covers her early life and career in great detail, including her New Jersey schooling, young marriage, and growing skill and confidence as a female photographer in a male-dominated art world. Meyer depicts Bourke-White's life with minimal embellishments; the result is a sometimes-dull and overlong account of a groundbreaking life. Author's note included.
