Hmong Girls, Laos, 1974
Photograph by Wilbur E. Garrett
"With little to cling to except each other, Hmong girls reflect the uncertainty of a people driven from their homes in the protracted war for Laos. The Hmong were forced to flee their mountain villages and to take sides in the conflict. Crack Hmong guerillas became the undeclared muscle behind U.S. foreign policy in this Southeast Asian nation. Now, a precarious peace has come with the 1973 cease-fire, and the Hmong, driven out of their hilltop isolation, find themselves thrust into the mainstream of Laotian life."

苗族女孩，老挝， 1974年

“除了相互依靠别无支援，老挝苗族女孩反映出被旷日持久的战争赶出家园的人们的无助。苗族被迫从他们的山村中逃离并选择站在冲突的那一方。苗族游击队也成为美国在这个东南亚国家外交政策中的一支暗藏力量。现在，1973年达成了并不稳定的停火协议，被从与世隔绝的山顶驱赶出来的苗族发现他们已融入老挝社会生活的主流 。

Turkish Steam Bath, Istanbul, Turkey, 1973
Photograph by Winfield I. Parks, Jr
"Luxury for an Istanbulian is in the 100°F heat of a Turkish bath. The Romans built the city’s first public baths. This marble retreat rose in the 16th century, a design of the architect Sinan, who created hundreds of glorious structures for the Ottomans. Basement boilers produce the steam, and holes in the dome release excess heat. A hundred public baths reserve separate hours or rooms for women. In bygone days, marriage contracts assured wives an allowance for bath money."

对伊斯坦布尔人来说，奢侈就是在100华氏度（38摄氏度）的土耳其浴室里。罗马人修建了这座城市的第一个公共浴室。这个大理石玫瑰般的休息厅建于16世纪，Sinan建筑师的设计，他为土耳其帝国创造了数以百计的宏伟建筑。墙角的蒸炉不断产生蒸汽，通过天花板上的孔洞可以散发掉多余的热量。一百个公共浴室按照时间或房屋分开以便为女士服务。过去，只有婚约才能为妇女提供浴资

Vietnamese Woman at Border, Vietnam, 1968
Photograph by Wilbur E. Garrett
"’Please help my baby!’ a Vietnamese mother pleads with an interpreter aboard a U.S. Navy patrol boat in the delta. The patrol, seeking VC craft on the waterways, had stopped her sampan shortly after sunup—before the 7 a.m. curfew ended. Finding neither VC nor contraband, the sailors helped her sick child as much as they could from the vessel’s first-aid kit and moved on."

Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
"Denied face and form by an age-old custom, a woman of Kabul secludes herself in a sleeveless silk chadri; a pair of Old World goldfinches rides home from market on her head. Reflecting the forces of change at work in the land, Afghan law no longer requires the chadri, whose pleats echo a style of centuries ago."
