EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, we see Mary Boyle O'Reilly, a writer and lecturer on sociology, posing for the camera in 1913. Dressed in a full-length coat and hat adorned with ostrich feathers, O'Reilly exudes an air of confidence and sophistication. The coat, made of heavy fabric, is cinched at the waist with a belt, while the hat sits atop her head at a slight angle, revealing a glimpse of her expressive face. A muff, also made of fur, is draped over her arms, adding an extra layer of warmth and luxury to her attire. O'Reilly's outfit is accessorized with a lace collar and cuffs, adding a touch of femininity to the otherwise formal and practical ensemble. The photograph was taken during a time when women were beginning to make strides in various professions, including journalism and academia, and O'Reilly's stylish yet practical outfit reflects the changing times. As a writer and lecturer on sociology, O'Reilly was likely a thought leader in her field, using her platform to explore and analyze the social issues of the day. Her fashionable yet functional outfit is a testament to her ability to navigate the complexities of both the intellectual and social worlds of early 20th century America. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection, offering a glimpse into the fashion and social norms of the era, as well as a portrait of an accomplished and stylish woman making her mark on the world.
