EDITORS COMMENTS
Helen Ryan, age 41 (with cap), widow and former factory worker at Heil and Co. in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, poses for a portrait during the height of World War II in 1943. Captured by photographer Howard Hollem, this image showcases the resilience and determination of American women on the home front. In an era when men were being called to serve their country, Helen represents countless women who stepped up to fill vital roles in industries previously dominated by men. With her khaki attire and focused expression, she embodies the spirit of female empowerment during wartime. Beside her stands Agnes Cliemka, age 23 and married with a husband potentially joining the US armed services soon. Agnes had worked as a clerk in a department store before taking on new responsibilities checking parts of gasoline trailers that would be turned over to the Air Force. Together, these two women demonstrate how ordinary individuals played crucial roles in supporting the war effort. This photograph not only captures individual stories but also serves as a testament to America's collective strength during challenging times. It is part of Howard Hollem's collection housed at the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration archive—a valuable historical record that sheds light on gender dynamics and employment patterns during World War II. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us to honor those who made sacrifices for our freedom while recognizing the invaluable contributions made by women like Helen Ryan and Agnes Cliemka.
