EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history as women take the qualifying exam for the New York City Police Department in 1947. The image, taken by renowned photographer Dick De Marsico, showcases a group of determined women seated at desks inside an interior space. The scene is filled with intensity and focus as these trailblazing individuals put pen to paper, writing their answers with determination. Amongst them are unidentified African American women, breaking barriers and challenging societal norms during a time when opportunities for women in law enforcement were limited. Their clothing reflects the fashion of the era, adding an authentic touch to this powerful snapshot. The room exudes an atmosphere of anticipation and ambition as these aspiring police officers strive to prove themselves capable of serving their city. This print from Granger Art on Demand serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality within law enforcement over the years. It symbolizes courage, resilience, and perseverance displayed by these pioneering women who paved the way for future generations. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured through Dick De Marsico's lens, it is important to recognize and appreciate those who have shattered glass ceilings while striving towards justice and equal representation within our society.
