Born in 1895, Dorothea Lange became one of the most iconic photographers during the Great Depression for her striking and compelling photographs of immigrant families and homeless farmers. Lange took photographs for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), an agency established by the United States Department of Agriculture, hoping that his "powerful images" would show the public the reality of the brutal conditions of the rural poor. His work is now housed in the Library of Congress and stored in its online database, Most of Lange's photographs were taken during the summer months and show tenant farmers who had become day laborers and were not guaranteed a next day's work, or farmers who were "tractor-dragged," meaning the landowner bought a tractor, kept the workers needed to operate it, and got rid of the rest, leaving them out of work and nowhere to go.
