The image captures Mrs. Elibia Siematter, a dedicated sweeper at the roundhouse of the Chicago and North Western railroad in Clinton, Iowa. Dressed in her sturdy denim overalls and donning goggles for protection against flying debris, Mrs. Siematter stands proudly amidst her workplace - an interior filled with machinery and tools that keep the wheels of industry turning even during times of war.
