Description

Ruth Orkin: A Hidden Side of Women's Lives in 1940s and 1950s America. Sensationally revealing negatives and photographs from Ruth Orkin's archive shed new light on the lesser-known side of this iconic American photographer. Orkin chronicled the lives of women, capturing their stories through editorial-style reports and portraits of everyday women, including those working in beauty salons, at cocktail parties, and on film sets. Orkin's work documented a generation of women breaking free from societal conventions, embracing independence, style, and self-expression. This book presents a unique perspective on the lives of women during this period, revealing their struggles, triumphs, and everyday experiences.
