A woman rakes hay below the mountains, Oberau 1937

In a broad, mown meadow, a woman in a kerchief and long apron rakes the dry hay towards her with quick strokes, raising a haze of dust; behind her stand evenly spaced haycocks, a band of dark spruce and a range of mountains with clouds on their summits. Most of the hay on small Alpine farms was still made by hand in 1937, and the work fell as much on the women of the household as on the men.
