Review

Berenice Abbott captures a large and star-studded life. . . . A vital work of American cultural history.-- "New York Times"

[An] extraordinary biography of the astonishing Berenice Abbott. Even those who believe they know by heart the thrilling emergence of modernism--especially its women--in Paris, New York, and Berlin in the 1910s and 1920s, will meet its brilliant characters afresh in this absorbing account of the photographer's life and work. Berenice Abbott is a remarkable portrait of a twentieth-century genius.--Honor Moore, author of The Bishop's Daughter

[Van Haaften] chronicles Abbott's demanding life and extraordinary accomplishments with scrupulous detail. . . . [Her] expert foundational biography brings Abbott into sharp focus.-- "Booklist, starred"

Absorbing. . . . Abbott's integrity and sense of honor, her restless and fearless nature, and her absolute devotion to telling the truth of her experience, come through loud and clear.-- "Washington Post"
