EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, portrays a 57-year-old sharecropper woman from Hinds County, Mississippi. The woman, identified as Lee Russell, sits on the porch of a weathered farmhouse, her thin, bare feet resting on the wooden planks, with dimes carefully placed around her ankles. The belief that wearing coins around the ankles could prevent headaches was a common folk remedy during the Great Depression, a time when people were desperate for simple cures to alleviate their suffering. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of rural life during the Depression era, a time of widespread poverty and economic hardship. The woman's worn clothing, the rustic surroundings, and the look of quiet resignation on her face all speak to the profound struggles of the era. Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, took this photograph as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her powerful images of the Depression-era South brought attention to the plight of the rural poor and helped shape the public's perception of the era. This photograph is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture the human condition and preserve history. It is a reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the importance of empathy and compassion in times of hardship.
