A farm woman raking hay, near Berlin 1937

Close behind her, a farm woman in a long, dark, finely patterned dress and a knotted headscarf bends to her work, drawing a long-handled wooden rake through the swathes of hay and turning them over; beyond her the mown meadow runs flat to a line of trees and a row of haycocks. Farm work in 1937 still rested largely on the hands of women, and the regime's rhetoric of blood and soil praised them without lightening it.
