EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1899, we see the renowned American stage and film actress Edna Wallace Hopper striking a pose inside a boxing ring. Standing beside her is Jack Cooper, the owner of the gymnasium located at Broadway and 37th Street in New York City. The image captures a moment of strength and determination as Hopper dons boxing gloves, ready to take on any challenge that comes her way. Known for her talent and versatility, Hopper was not only an accomplished actress but also a fitness enthusiast. This photo showcases her dedication to maintaining physical fitness during an era when women's involvement in sports was still relatively uncommon. With every punch she throws, Hopper defies societal expectations and proves that women can excel in traditionally male-dominated arenas. The silver gelatin print adds depth to the image, highlighting the contrast between light and shadow. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while simultaneously celebrating the enduring spirit of resilience embodied by both Hopper and Cooper. This photograph serves as a testament to Edna Wallace Hopper's indomitable spirit as she fearlessly steps into the boxing ring with confidence. It immortalizes her as not just an acclaimed performer but also as an inspiration for generations to come – reminding us all that true strength knows no boundaries or limitations.
