EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Boyle O'Reilly: A Pioneering Irish-American Sociologist and Journalist in Early 20th Century America This evocative photograph, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio in 1913, showcases Mary Boyle O'Reilly, an Irish-American social reformer and journalist who made significant strides during World War I. Dressed in a full-length, high-collared dress with intricate lace detailing and a fur muff, O'Reilly exudes an air of authority and determination. Her companion, a man in a bowler hat and holding a document labeled 'A Bill,' adds an intriguing layer to the scene. Mary Boyle O'Reilly was a trailblazer in her field, both as a writer and a lecturer on sociology. Her work focused on social issues and legislation, and she used her journalistic skills to advocate for change. The document her companion holds may be a piece of legislation or a proposal she was working on, further emphasizing her commitment to social reform. The photograph is a testament to the fashion of the time, with O'Reilly's dress made of heavy fabric and adorned with delicate lace and fur accents. The man's bowler hat and ostrich-feather accessory are also typical of the era. The use of glass negatives by Harris & Ewing captures every detail, from the intricate textures of the clothing to the expressive body language of the subjects. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the work of a pioneering woman who made a difference in her community and left a lasting impact on American society.
