EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Crystal Eastman, an influential American journalist, social reformer, and feminist, on March 29, 1916. The photograph, taken by renowned photographer Arnold Genthe, showcases Eastman's direct gaze and strong personality. Dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, she wears a long-sleeved blouse with a high collar and a fitted coat over a full skirt. The young woman's hat sits neatly on her head, completing her fashionable yet practical attire. At the time, Eastman was a prominent figure in the women's suffrage movement and an advocate for social justice and labor rights. Her journalistic career began in the early 1900s, and she went on to write for various publications, including the New York Call and the Masses. Eastman was also a lawyer, making her one of the few women in the United States to hold both journalism and law degrees at the time. This portrait is a testament to Eastman's trailblazing spirit and her significant contributions to American history. The image, taken as a glass negative, is a valuable piece of heritage art that showcases the fashion trends of the 1910s and the determination of a woman who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, a national treasure trove of American history and culture.
