EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "C. & N. W. R. R. Mrs. Dorothy Lucke, employed as a wiper at the roundhouse, Clinton, Iowa, 1943" captures a remarkable moment in American history during the Second World War. Taken by renowned photographer Jack Delano, this image showcases the strength and resilience of women who stepped into traditionally male-dominated roles to support their country's war efforts. In this powerful photograph, we see Mrs. Dorothy Lucke dressed in her work attire - bib overalls or dungarees - proudly posing inside the roundhouse where she is employed as a wiper for the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company. Her blue-collar worker outfit symbolizes her dedication and commitment to her job despite societal expectations of that era. Delano's lens beautifully captures not only Mrs. Lucke but also provides us with an intimate glimpse into her workplace environment filled with railroad construction tools and equipment. The image serves as a testament to the vital role played by women like Mrs. Lucke in maintaining America's transportation infrastructure during wartime. This historical artifact is part of the Farm Security Administration collection held at the Library of Congress and represents an important chapter in American heritage artistry from the 1940s. It reminds us of how individuals from all walks of life came together to contribute towards their nation's success during challenging times.
