Joan Meyers uses photographs, letters, interviews and determined sleuthing to richly detail the brimming life such places contained." Myers has done an admirable job in telling Doris story, and focusing on an often overlooked region. ""Pie Town Woman" describes the back-breaking manual labor of subsistence agriculture and the drudgery of housekeeping." "The reader is not only engaged by the photos and absorbed by Myers's account of one spunky woman's perspective on homesteading in New Mexico- but is also engrossed by Myers's thought-provoking questions."
Reseña del editor
Pie Town, New Mexico, was immortalised in 1940 in the photographs of Russell Lee, who documented life in the high, dry farming community as part of the Farm Security Administration's New Deal survey of American life. This book tells the story of one of the women photographed by Lee. Doris Caudill lived on a homestead with her husband and daughter, who was six years old when Lee made his famous photographs, many of which show Doris planting her garden, canning vegetables, and milking cows. Now, more than sixty years later, Joan Myers, herself a distinguished photographer, introduces us to the woman behind the pictures.
