This image depicts several women outside a tent set up along the street. In the foreground is a young woman standing with her back to the camera. She wears a white head wrap, long sleeve white blouse, and light colored vest and skirt. She has glasses and a wedding ring. With her right hand she grasps a tent pole, with her left a tent support rope. She gazes to her right. Immediately in front of her are three women, two standing and one seated. One woman, standing to the right, is wearing a white nurse's uniform, including the cap. Next to her is another woman, seated on a folding chair, also in white. Facing across from them is a third woman, standing gazing downward with her right hand on her hip. Other indistinct individuals, including a man and a child stand clustered beyond them, while buildings and street traffic are in the background.
