EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment of history as a courageous woman makes her way to enlist in the Women's Battalion of Death in Russia during World War I. In a time when women's roles were often limited, she defies expectations and joins the fight alongside men on the front lines.
Walking down the street with her husband, who serves in the Russian Navy at Kronstadt, this woman embodies strength and determination. Her decision to join the army reflects her desire for equality and rights, as she takes on a traditionally male role during wartime.
The image is a reminder of the countless women who played vital roles in war efforts throughout history, breaking barriers and proving their capabilities in times of crisis. It serves as a tribute to all those who have fought for freedom and justice, regardless of gender.
As we look back at this scene from 1917, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like this brave woman who chose to enlist and serve their country with honor. The photograph stands as a testament to resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.
