Where Woman Wants To, She Can!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: Breaking Barriers in Traditionally Male Roles, 1910 This collection of photographs showcases women defying societal norms and boldly stepping into roles once reserved for men. Taken between 1910 and 1910s, these images depict women in Paris, Leipsic, Charleroi, and Delaware, making their mark in male-dominated professions. Paris: Lady Billsticker - A woman proudly displays her billsticking skills on the bustling streets of Paris, challenging the traditional notion that only men could hold this job. Billsticking involved posting advertisements and notices around the city, requiring physical strength and determination. Leipsic: Girl Messenger - In this photograph, a young girl confidently delivers a package in Leipsic, Germany. Messenger work was a physically demanding role, but this determined girl proved that women were capable of handling the job with ease. Charleroi: Women Coal Miners - In the Belgian town of Charleroi, women worked tirelessly in coal mines, demonstrating their strength and resilience in an industry long considered the exclusive domain of men. Delaware, PA: Nun-Compositor at Work in a Convent Printing Works - In this unique image, a nun composes text for a printing press in a convent in Delaware, USA. This photograph challenges the stereotype that women, especially religious women, were limited to passive roles. These photographs serve as a testament to the indomitable spirit of women who refused to be confined by societal expectations. They remind us that when women want to, they can indeed conquer any role, no matter how traditionally male.
