EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to witness the pioneering spirit of young women on the basketball court. This print captures a moment frozen in history, showcasing girls playing basketball at Western High School in Washington, D. C. , way back in 1899. The talented photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston skillfully immortalized this scene, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the athleticism and determination of these adolescent American athletes. In an era when sports were predominantly male-dominated, these trailblazing girls fearlessly took to the court with their team spirit shining through. The wooden floor beneath them bears witness to countless hours of practice and dedication that led up to this exhilarating game. With a hoop towering above them and a blackboard displaying strategic plays nearby, it is evident that these young sportswomen possessed both skill and intellect. This photograph not only showcases their physical prowess but also offers a glimpse into life during turn-of-the-century Washington, D. C. The gymnasium's interior reflects the architectural style of that era while highlighting how sports transcended societal boundaries even then. Let this remarkable image transport you back in time as you celebrate these extraordinary young women who defied conventions and left an indelible mark on history.
