1947-1963: Everyday life in Alginet, a town in the Valencian Country.

All these photos were taken by Ismael Latorre Mendoza and are part of his archive available online.

Workers, 1947.

Orange pickers, 1948.

Going to get water from the fountain, 1949. Before running water was available in houses, going to the public fountain to fetch water was part of the domestic labour that women did every day.

Washing clothes in the wash basin, 1950.

Laying the sweet potatoes, 1951.

The photographer Laura Canet Lozano organizing photos in the studio, 1956.

Women playing basketball, 1958.

Work, 1959.

Workers sorting tomatoes in the Alginet cooperative, 1963.

Lastly, this one is not from Alginet but the nearby town Picassent, but it’s part of the same archive.

Onion pickers near Torre d’Espioca. Picassent, 1947. Here they have stopped working and are posing for the photo, but picking onions is a very harsh job, physically demanding because onions (like potatoes) grow at ground level, meaning that the workers have to work with their backs bent or on their knees.

Once again, if someone tries to convince you that women historically haven't worked outside of doing domestic labour at home, they're wrong and probably trying to sell you something.
