EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, it showcases a local high school girl diligently picking beans in Marion County, Oregon. The image portrays a young female worker amidst vast farmland, symbolizing both the economic hardships and resilience of this era. Lange's composition skillfully highlights the contrast between the girl's delicate features and her labor-intensive job. With determination etched on her face, she represents countless children who had to contribute to their families' survival during tough times. Through this powerful portrait, Lange sheds light on the harsh realities faced by individuals living in poverty-stricken regions. The photograph also serves as a testament to Lange's commitment to documenting social issues through photography. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later Office of War Information (OWI), she aimed to raise awareness about socio-economic conditions across America. Today, this image stands as an iconic representation of American history and regionalism. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, it continues to inspire conversations about education, economics, and societal challenges faced by generations past.
