520 |a "In 1918, twenty-two-year-old Dorothea Nutzhorn arrives in bohemian San Francisco determined to forge her way on her own terms. Within a year and a half, she's renamed herself Dorothea Lange and is the toast of the Bay Area as the owner of the city's most prestigious and stylish portrait studio and wife of the talented but volatile painter, Maynard Dixon. By the early 1930s, as America's economy collapses and her marriage founders, Dorothea must find a way to support her two young sons single-handedly. Intent on finding humanity in places where most choose to look the other way, she takes to the road and exposes the horrific conditions of America's poor. When the nation enters the Second World War, she must confront another injustice and decide how far she's willing to fight. At a time when women are supposed to keep the home fires burning, Dorothea dares to be different, but her choices will come with a steep price. Set amid the turmoil of the Great Depression and the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II, Learning to See follows the life of an ambitious woman and her awakening to art, activism, and what it means to risk everything for love.--  |c Back cover.
