"Migrant Mother" is a photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1936, during the Great Depression. The photograph depicts a mother and her children, who were part of a camp for migratory farm workers in California. The photograph became an iconic image of the era and is considered one of the most recognizable photographs of the 20th century. The photograph shows the mother, Florence Owens Thompson, looking directly at the camera, with her two children by her side. The photograph was taken at a time when many Americans were struggling to make ends meet, and it helped to humanize the struggles of those affected by the Great Depression. Lange's photograph was used by the government to promote the New Deal programs, and it was widely disseminated in newspapers and magazines across the country. The photograph is currently housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
