EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures the harsh reality of life for a displaced family during the Great Depression. The image shows a woman using a Nesco steel rust-resisting washtub in an al fresco setting at the Pea Picker camp in Calipatria, Imperial Valley, California. The caption reveals that this family were once farm owners in Oklahoma but lost their land due to economic hardships. For the past three years, they have been forced to wander around California with their children. Their situation is described as a "have-to case" highlighting their desperate circumstances. In this evocative scene, we see the woman diligently performing her daily chore of laundry amidst difficult living conditions. The galvanized bucket and hamper next to her symbolize resilience and resourcefulness despite adversity. The chimneys rising from makeshift dwellings behind her serve as reminders of the meager housing conditions endured by many during this time. Lange's photograph not only documents an individual story but also serves as a poignant representation of the larger social and economic struggles faced by countless families during the Great Depression. Through her lens, she captures both domesticity and displacement, offering viewers a glimpse into the lives of those affected by forced migration and poverty. As an iconic piece from Lange's body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this photograph stands as a testament to her ability to capture raw human emotion while shedding light on important societal issues.
