EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported back to the heart of the Great Depression era. The image showcases Mrs. Wardlow, a resilient woman residing in her humble dugout house on Dead Ox Flat in Malheur County, Oregon. With determination etched on her face, Mrs. Wardlow can be seen baking her own bread amidst the challenging circumstances of the time. This intimate glimpse into her daily life reveals both resourcefulness and self-sufficiency as she utilizes a makeshift kitchen space within her underground dwelling. The composition highlights the simplicity of Mrs. Wardlow's surroundings; sparse furniture adorns the room while mason jars line shelves against weathered walls. A dining table serves as a centerpiece where meals are shared and stories exchanged during these difficult times. Dorothea Lange's lens captures not only an individual but also a symbol of resilience that defined America during this period of economic hardship. Through this powerful image, we witness how ordinary people like Mrs. Wardlow found strength within themselves to overcome adversity. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as a testament to human perseverance and serves as an important reminder of our collective history. It is through images like these that we gain insight into past struggles while celebrating the indomitable spirit that carried individuals through even their darkest days
