These women photographers’ position with a government agency was their opportunity to make a difference. They took their assignments beyond mere ordinary documentary images, to tell extraordinary truths about women, race and discrimination in America. They took risks and acted on moral obligation to represent the marginalized people of America, even when their assignments were otherwise. They relied on artistic vision and technical skill to create more than a photograph but a statement exposing the inequalities permeating American society. Their pictures told truths that inspired society, just when the time was ripe to stand up for the rights of the oppressed. As field workers witnessing and recording inequity firsthand, they didn’t let the chance slip away to expose social injustice in American society.
