EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Marion Glass Banister and Nellie Tayloe Ross in 1938, taken by Harris & Ewing. The image showcases two remarkable women who made significant contributions to American politics and government during their time. Marion Glass Banister, the Assistant U. S. Treasurer, stands on the left side of the photograph. Known for her expertise in finance and treasury affairs, she played a crucial role in managing the nation's financial resources. On the right side stands Nellie Tayloe Ross, an influential figure in American politics. Born Nellie Davis Tayloe, she became the first woman governor of a U. S. state when she succeeded her husband as Wyoming's 14th Governor from 1925-27. Later on, she also became the first female director of the United States Mint from 1933-53. Both women exemplify strength and determination as they broke barriers in male-dominated fields. Their achievements paved the way for future generations of women to pursue careers in politics and public service. This portrait reflects their dedication to public service while highlighting their individual accomplishments within American governance. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality while inspiring us to continue working towards progress and inclusivity within our society.
