Picture of a woman

Somewhere around about 1999-2001, I think, I found a magazine article with a photograph of a woman and saved it. At the time, the picture did seem to exhude a kind of saintly feminist quality, which was odd and compelling. I felt I had to know more about her, someday. After moving around so much, I don't think I have the magazine photo anymore, but I remembered her name. Now she has a biography:
Tillie Olsen: One Woman, Many Riddles.
The picture was from 1944. A smaller version of it is in the book.
