EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history during the First World War. The Housewives' League car, pictured in Union Square, New York City in 1917, showcases women from the National Housewives League on a mission to support the New York Food Aid Committee.
The image is a powerful reminder of the vital role that women played on the home front during wartime. As members of this league, these women were dedicated to ensuring that their communities had access to essential food supplies amidst the challenges of war.
The car itself serves as a symbol of unity and determination, with its striking poster proudly displaying the message "New York Food Aid Committee." This visual representation highlights the collaborative efforts made by organizations and individuals alike to support those in need during times of crisis.
Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the resilience and compassion displayed by ordinary citizens coming together for a common cause. It is a testament to the strength and spirit of American men and women who worked tirelessly to make a difference during one of history's most challenging periods.
