Radical Utopic 70's Living for the 21st Century
I love this site: Let's Remake. It's like a time capsule of radical 60's and 70's thinking about living. Plus plans for bat houses. And PDFs of 1974's How to Build Your Own Living Structures.

Vivian Maier...
...was an incredible Chicago street photographer from the 1950-90s.
"She was a Socialist, a Feminist, a movie critic, and a tell-it-like-it-is type of person. She learned English by going to theaters, which she loved. She wore a men's jacket, men's shoes and a large hat most of the time. She was constantly taking pictures, which she didn't show anyone."
See fantastic memorial blog
