Dorothea Lange was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in May 1895. Her birth name was Dorothea Nutzhorn. Her father's name was Heinrich, and he was a lawyer; her mother was Johanna, a stay-at-home mom. Dorothea had one brother, Martin. After her parents got divorced, she came to believe the break-up of the marriage was largely her dad's fault, so she decided to use her mother's maiden name (Lange), which is how she became known as Dorothea Lange.
