EDITORS COMMENTS
Enlisting 'Marinettes' (c1915-1920): A Pioneering Moment in American History. During World War I, women took on unprecedented roles to support the war effort. In this remarkable photograph, a group of "Marinettes" - female clerical workers who performed tasks usually done by male Marines - are seen enlisting for duty. The term 'Marinettes' was coined specifically for these pioneering women, who played a vital role in freeing up male personnel to fight on the front lines.
Captured by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain of the Bain News Service, this image is a testament to the power and resilience of American women during one of the most tumultuous periods in history. The 'Marinettes' were part of a larger effort to mobilize women's participation in war efforts, paving the way for future generations.
This striking black-and-white photograph not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a poignant reminder of the significant contributions made by American women during World War I. It is an honor to preserve this piece of history and share it with the world.
