Title
Expectant Mother Working in Field
Description
The unknown mother-to-be photographed in this portrait is seen to be directly interacting with the farm in which she is employed. Migrant females were expected to work despite pregnancy, with few accommodations provided to ensure comfortability. Work was needed to be done by those employed, including pregnant women. This photograph appears to be taken at a potato farm, though the exact location is unknown. Migrant farmers typically work for long hours in the fields during the prime farming season to ensure they can provide for their families. This mother is no exception, as she is visibly seen to be working despite pregnancy.
