Best known for her candid documentary photographs taken for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during the Great Depression. Post Wolcott documented working-class life across the country during the late 1930s and early 1940s with other famed photographs such as Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans. She had a reputation for being tough and feisty. "As an FSA documentary photographer, I was committed to changing the attitudes of people by familiarizing America with the plight of the underprivileged, especially in rural America," she once said. Along with images of coal miners, farmers harvesting tobacco fields, and affluent spectators at the races, Wolcott also captured moments of transcendence, such as in Jitterbugging (1939), an iconic image of African-Americans dancing in a club. Post Wolcott's work is archived at the Library of Congress and the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona.
