EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Texas woman in carrot pullers' camp, Imperial Valley, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939. The image portrays a resilient Texas woman, her sun-weathered face shielded by a traditional sunbonnet, as she toils in the carrot fields of the Imperial Valley. The Imperial Valley, located in southern California, was a popular destination for displaced farmers during the Great Depression. Thousands of families, many of them from Texas, were forced to migrate west in search of work and a better life. This photograph captures the harsh reality of their existence, as they lived in makeshift camps, often referred to as shantytowns, and worked long hours in the fields for meager wages. The woman in the photograph wears a simple, practical dress, typical of the clothing worn by women during this era. Her laundry hangs nearby, a testament to the long hours spent maintaining some semblance of normalcy in the midst of poverty and hardship. The sunbonnet, a symbol of rural heritage, is a poignant reminder of the woman's roots in Texas, which she carried with her on her journey west. This image was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that provided relief to rural and farm communities affected by the Depression. Lange's powerful and compassionate photography, which included this iconic image, helped to bring attention to the plight of the displaced and the impoverished during this difficult time in American history. The photograph also bears the credit of Russell Lee, who collaborated with Lange on many FSA assignments. Later, during World War II, both Lange and Lee worked for the Office of War Information (OWI), documenting the war effort and the home front.
