EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Mrs. Helen Dortch Longstreet, the widow of Confederate General James Longstreet, stands proudly in her full-length dress, adorned with intricate lace detailing and a fashionable hat. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing in 1913, showcases Mrs. Longstreet's elegant attire and poised demeanor. At the time, Mrs. Longstreet was making history in the state of Georgia by advocating for women's eligibility for the position of State Librarian. This was the first successful movement in the state towards breaking down the prejudice against women holding high political positions. Mrs. Longstreet's determination and ambition were not limited to the political sphere. She was also an editor, journalist, and publisher. Her husband, General Longstreet, had a significant impact on the American Civil War, serving as a prominent commander under General Robert E. Lee. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century during the 1910s, is a testament to the changing roles of women in society during that time. Mrs. Longstreet's achievements challenge the traditional gender norms and pave the way for future generations of women to pursue careers in various fields. This image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress. The studio, founded by George H. Harris, George W. Harris, and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was a leading photography studio in Washington D.C. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their glass negatives have captured significant moments in American history and continue to be an essential resource for historians and researchers.
