Winter Haven, a citrus town in central Florida, is the setting here, and the picture shows women working on the line of a grapefruit canning plant. Citrus processing was a major source of jobs in the region during the twentieth century, and packing houses and canneries often employed large numbers of women for sorting, trimming and packing fruit. Photographs like this one, often made for federal documentation of working conditions, offer a record of the labor, the equipment and the daily routines of a industry that shaped the local economy.
