EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1902, showcases a group of advanced students in dressmaking under the tutelage of the esteemed Mrs. Ida E. Gladden in Greenville, South Carolina, USA. The students, dressed in their finest attire, exude confidence and pride as they gaze directly at the camera, their determined expressions reflecting their dedication to their craft. Mrs. Gladden, an African American educator, ran a successful dressmaking school during a time when opportunities for further education and skill development were limited for women, especially for those from marginalized communities. Her students, both black and white, were fortunate to receive instruction from a skilled and experienced seamstress, setting them on a path towards gainful employment and self-sufficiency. This evocative image, preserved in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the rich history of dressmaking education for women in the early 20th century. The students' elegant garments, meticulously crafted and expertly tailored, speak to the importance of this profession and the value of education, both then and now.
