EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gordon Parks captures a significant moment in American history during the Second World War. Taken in 1943 at the Landers, Frary and Clark plant in New Britain, Connecticut, it showcases a group of hardworking women who were employed to support the war effort. The image portrays an exterior view of the factory with a shuttle driver standing proudly next to his car. Parks' lens beautifully encapsulates the industrial landscape of this era, highlighting both the strength and determination of these female workers. The composition draws attention to their resilience as they navigate through poverty-stricken times while contributing significantly to their country's progress. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project commissioned by the Office of War Information (OWI), Parks masterfully captures not only documentary evidence but also conveys a sense of empathy towards these women. Through his photography, he sheds light on their struggles and triumphs within an industry dominated by men. This powerful image serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging circumstances, individuals can rise above adversity when united for a common cause. Gordon Parks' work continues to be celebrated as it preserves our collective heritage and provides valuable insight into America's past during this transformative period.
