HINE - HOME INDUSTRY, 1912. A Glimpse into the Lives of Working-Class Women and Girls in Roxbury
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Lewis Hine in August 1912 offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of working-class women and young girls in Roxbury, Massachusetts. The sepia-toned print showcases a woman surrounded by a group of industrious young girls diligently working on garment tags while perched on a tenement stoop. In this image, we witness the harsh reality of child labor prevalent during that era. These adolescent workers were engaged in piecework, contributing to their families' meager income. Despite their tender age, they displayed an unwavering commitment to their responsibilities. The worn-out staircase leading up to the tenement serves as a symbol of the challenging circumstances faced by these individuals. It represents not only physical exhaustion but also economic hardship endured by many families residing in North America during this period. Lewis Hine's lens captures both the strength and vulnerability present within this scene. The determination etched on each face tells stories untold – tales of resilience amidst adversity. Through this photograph, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to protect children from exploitative labor practices and provide them with opportunities for education and growth. It stands as a powerful testament to how far society has come since then while serving as an enduring reminder that progress should never be taken for granted.
