I picked this picture because I think it captures the struggles and hardships from the Great Depression as a whole. It pictures a lady living in an irrigation ditch and appears to be trying to clean or cook something. There are no walls just straw and the background looks incredibly run-down. I think the goal of the photograph is to illustrate how women struggled while men were away and the severity of poverty that struck people all over. I think this image shows what an average poor family had to live like, and what the women were supposed to do to help during the depression.
