Answer
Arbus's imagery helped to normalize marginalized groups by showing them in a realistic and often sympathetic light. She often photographed people who were considered to be outsiders, such as the homeless, the mentally ill, and the physically disabled. Her work helped to challenge the stereotypes that were often associated with these groups, and to show that they were just as complex and multifaceted as anyone else.
