About this work
‘We’ve had no work since March. The worst thing we did was when we sold the car, but we had to sell it to eat, and now we can’t get away from here ... This county’s a hard county. They won’t help bury you here. If you die, you’re dead, that’s all.’
– The subject of this photograph, Nettie Featherston, to Dorothea Lange
