EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Lucile Mazurek, a 29-year-old ex-housewife from Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the tumultuous times of World War II. With her husband enlisted in the armed forces, Lucile found herself working at Heil and Co. , an industrial company that played a vital role in supporting the war effort. In this image, she can be seen diligently working on black-out lamps for gasoline trailers used by the Air Force. Howard Hollem skillfully documents this moment in history through his lens, showcasing not only Lucile's determination but also shedding light on the significant contributions made by women like her to support their country during wartime. The photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration collection held at the Library of Congress and was taken as part of Howard Hollem's work for the Office of War Information. Lucile stands proudly amidst rows of manufacturing equipment and materials, donning a jumper and sweater – typical attire for blue-collar workers at that time. The image symbolizes resilience and strength as she navigates a traditionally male-dominated industry with grace. Hollem's composition beautifully captures both Lucile's individual story and reflects upon America's collective efforts during this critical period in history. It serves as a powerful reminder of how ordinary individuals stepped up to contribute to their nation's cause, highlighting their unwavering dedication despite personal sacrifices.
