"Migrant Mother" is a famous photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1936 during the Great Depression. It depicts a weary mother, Florence Owens Thompson, with her children, capturing the struggles faced by many families at that time. The image became an iconic representation of poverty and resilience in America. The photograph was part of a larger project by the Farm Security Administration to document the plight of migrant workers. Lange's work aimed to raise awareness about the hardships faced by these families, ultimately influencing public policy and humanitarian efforts during a challenging period in U.S. history.
