EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Delano in 1943, showcases the resilience and strength of women workers during World War II. The image captures a moment of camaraderie as female employees employed as wipers in the roundhouse take their lunch break at the C&NWRR in Clinton, Iowa. In this snapshot of history, we see Marcella Hart on the left and Mrs. Elibia Siematter on the right, both donned in practical bib overalls - a symbol of their blue-collar work. Their clothing reflects not only their occupation but also the fashion trends of that era. The rest room where they gather exudes an atmosphere of hard work and dedication. The furniture is simple yet functional, providing these women with a space to refuel before returning to their maintenance duties. A hat or headscarf adorns each woman's head - perhaps serving as protection from dust or simply adding a touch of personal style. As they enjoy their meal together, it is evident that these women find solace and support within one another during challenging times. This photograph serves as a testament to the vital role played by female workers during wartime America. Jack Delano's lens captures not just an ordinary lunch break but also highlights the determination and perseverance displayed by these unsung heroes who kept America moving forward amidst adversity. It stands as a powerful reminder of how individuals come together to contribute towards something greater than themselves – embodying the spirit that defined America during this pivotal period in history.
