EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant print titled "New times for Mohammedan women" captures a significant moment of transformation in Tirana, Albania. Organized by the Red Cross, a sewing workshop has become a hub of change for Muslim women who are breaking away from old traditions. Illustrated by Achille Beltrame in 1920, this image showcases the enthusiasm with which these women embrace modernity. In this bustling scene, we see a group of veiled workers diligently operating sewing machines. The bright and colorful materials they work with reflect their newfound freedom and empowerment. As they sew together garments, these women shed their veils and gradually abandon the ancient custom that once concealed their faces. This photograph is not just about clothing; it represents an evolution within Albanian society as well as the broader Islamic community. It demonstrates how education and opportunity can challenge long-held beliefs and pave the way for progress. Beltrame's illustration beautifully captures the spirit of these courageous individuals who defy societal expectations to pursue economic independence through skilled labor. Their determination serves as an inspiration to all those striving for gender equality across different cultures. Through his artistry, Beltrame provides us with a glimpse into this transformative period in history when new ideas clashed with traditional norms. This image reminds us that change is possible even in societies deeply rooted in tradition.
