Image description

Lange was a photographer for Roosevelt's Resettlement Administration (later Farm Security Administration), a New Deal agency documenting the plight of the rural poor and the government's efforts to assist them. She was drawn to individual hands and feet representing larger themes of human suffering and endurance; this barefooted young woman picking cotton with dangling mule whip summarizes the cruel serfdom of tenant farming.
