In the 1930s, Lange traveled for the FSA taking pictures and devoted her attention to the migrants uprooted from their farms due to the Depression and drought. Her series of photographs is an example of photojournalism, through which she creates a body of work, recording and chronicling an event and its subsequent effects. Her best known image, Migrant Mother, humanized the plight of migrants and touched the hearts of the world.
