Doris Ulmann (1882-1934) was one of the foremost photographers of the twentieth century, yet until now there has never been a biography of this fascinating, gifted artist. Born into a New York Jewish family with a tradition of service, Ulmann sought to portray and document individuals from various groups that she feared would vanish from American life. In the last eighteen years of her life, Ulmann created over 10,000 photographs and illustrated five books, including Roll, Jordan, Roll and Handicrafts of the Southern Highlands. Inspired by the paintings of the European old masters and by the photographs of Hill and Adamson and Clarence White, Ulmann produced unique and substantial portrait studies. Working in her Park Avenue studio and traveling throughout the east coast, Appalachia, and the deep South, she carefully studied and photographed the faces of urban intellectuals as well as rural peoples. Her subjects included Albert Einstein, Robert Frost, African American basket weavers from South Carolina, and Kentucky mountain musicians. Relying on newly discovered letters, documents, and photographs—many published here for the first time—Philip Jacobs's richly illustrated biography secures Ulmann's rightful place in the history of American photography.

" ... These eloquent photographs of our vanishing American peasantry, ridiculed by the middle class as hillbillies, disclose a character that is altogether humbling ... To look at the lined, weathered faces of Christopher Lewis, Ella Webster, and Mrs. Bird Patten is to be reminded of the humanity and rooted communal life of these Southern Americans who are counted now simply as bureaucratic statistics in the poverty program. The recovery of Doris Ulmann's portraiture is typical of Jargon's cultural husbandry."[4].

“This vibrant and penetrating study. . . . opens a window on American culture between the world wars.” —Publishers Weekly Seeing America explores the camera work of five women who directed their visions toward influencing social policy and cultural theory. Taken together, they visually articulated the essential ideas occupying the American consciousness in the years between the world wars. Melissa McEuen examines the work of Doris Ulmann, who made portraits of celebrated artists in urban areas and lesser-known craftspeople in rural places; Dorothea Lange, who magnified human dignity in the midst of poverty and unemployment; Marion Post Wolcott, a steadfast believer in collective strength as the antidote to social ills and the best defense against future challenges; Margaret Bourke-White, who applied avant-garde advertising techniques in her exploration of the human condition; and Berenice Abbott, a devoted observer of the continuous motion and chaotic energy that characterized the modern cityscape. Combining feminist biography with analysis of visual texts, McEuen considers the various prisms though which each woman saw and revealed America. Winner of the 1999 Emily Toth Award for the best feminist study of popular culture given by the Women’s Caucus of the Popular Culture Association. “A rich resource for anyone interested in the history of photography, women’s history, and American history in general.” —Bloomsbury Review “A valiant, well-researched effort to bridge the history of visual culture with American social and political history.” —Journal of American History “The best books always leave their audience wanting more. That is certainly true of this gem of a work.” —Library Journal (starred review).

At the end of the 19th century, ideas concerning the value of work inspired a revival of handcraft that flourished in many parts of the US well into the 20th century. In the remote mountainous counties of four statesNorth Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginiathe revival was aimed at providing an income for impoverished families. Shared ideas concerning quality and resourcefulness contributed to an unintentional community of makers and patrons and who bridged two very different worlds. The makers world of log cabins, rutted roads, extended families, hillside farms, and quiet nights converged with the patrons world of privilege, finery, industry, and mobility. Makers created work that was displayed and sold; movement leaders organized guilds and exhibitions. Departing from a prestigious Park Avenue address, photographer Doris Ulmann traveled throughout Appalachia making pictures of both groups. Twenty-four of the artists photographs were selected to create a collective portrait of the revival, defining the movements scope and revealing its motivation. The forty-page paperback includes guest essays by Richard Kurin, Director of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage and Jean Haskell, Co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Appalachia. M. Anna Fariello, author and curator, wrote the feature essay on the history and influences of the revival. The perfect-bound book contains 17 Doris Ulmann photographs including two rare self portraits, and five additional historical photographs, coupled with explanatory text.

Modernity and urbanity have long been considered mutually sustaining forces in early twentieth-century America. But has the dominance of the urban imaginary obscured the importance of the rural? How have women, in particular, appropriated discourses and images of rurality to interrogate the problems of modernity? And how have they imbued the rural-traditionally viewed as a locus for conservatism-with a progressive political valence? Touching on such diverse subjects as eugenics, reproductive rights, advertising, the economy of literary prizes, and the role of the camera, A New Heartland demonstrates the importance of rurality to the imaginative construction of modernism/modernity; it also asserts that women, as objects of scrutiny as well as agents of critique, had a special stake in that relation. Casey traces the ideals informing America's conception of the rural across a wide field of representational domains, including social theory, periodical literature, cultural criticism, photography, and, most especially, women's rural fiction ("low" as well as "high"). Her argument is informed by archival research, most crucially through a careful analysis of The Farmer's Wife, the single nationally distributed farm journal for women and a little known repository of rural American attitudes. Through this broad scope, A New Heartland articulates an alternative mode of modernism by challenging orthodox ideas about gender and geography in twentieth-century America.
