Mrs. Victor Berger, 1911: A Pioneering Socialist Activist and Education Advocate This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing in 1911, depicts Meta Berger, an influential socialist organizer and advocate for improved public schooling systems in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Meta, whose married name was Meta Schlichting Berger, was the wife of politician Victor L. Berger, a founding member of the Social Democratic Party of America. Meta's commitment to social justice and education reform was evident in her activism. She was a dedicated advocate for women's rights and the rights of the working class, often campaigning for fair labor practices and equal opportunities for all. Her passion for education led her to champion the cause for better public schooling systems, ensuring that every child, regardless of their socioeconomic background, had access to quality education. In this photograph, Meta is seen wearing a modest yet elegant dress, adorned with intricate detailing and a stylish hat. The image captures her confident and determined expression, reflecting her unwavering dedication to her causes. The photograph is a testament to Meta's enduring legacy as a pioneering socialist activist and a champion for education and women's rights in early 20th century America. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection in the Library of Congress, which documents the history and culture of the United States during the 1910s. The collection, consisting of glass negatives, is a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the social, political, and cultural landscape of the United States during this period.
