Visit your library and look for biographies of Dorothea Lange or Edward Weston or Paul Strand or Margaret Bourke-White.
You can also research the FSA (Farm Services Administration) archives from the Depression years. Roy Stryker was the head of the FSA and employed the photographers mentioned to document the work of the FSA.
