EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the resilience and determination of women working at the Globe Cotton Mill in Augusta, Georgia. Despite being heavily pregnant, these courageous women continue to contribute their skills and labor to the textile industry. Taken in 1909 by Lewis Wickes Hine, this photogravure offers a glimpse into an era when societal norms surrounding pregnancy and work were vastly different from today. In an age where maternity leave was virtually non-existent and workplace conditions often neglected the needs of expectant mothers, these women defy expectations by balancing their impending motherhood with their responsibilities as workers. The image portrays a group of pregnant women engaged in spinning cotton, highlighting both their physical strength and dedication to providing for themselves and their families. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles while shedding light on the harsh realities faced by female laborers during this time period. As we reflect upon this powerful photograph, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come in recognizing the rights and well-being of pregnant workers. It also pays tribute to those who paved the way for improved working conditions for future generations. This image stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of these women who persevered despite facing immense challenges – truly embodying strength amidst adversity.
