EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s showcases a group of dedicated women in their American Red Cross Motor Corps uniforms, engaged in an empowering activity - learning to fix an automobile engine. The image captures the spirit of progress and independence that defined this era. The women are seen huddled around a vintage automobile, wearing trench coats over their uniforms, symbolizing their commitment to service even in challenging conditions. Their focused expressions reveal determination as they skillfully work on the engine, highlighting their competence and dedication. The presence of both early motor vehicles and these hardworking women challenges traditional gender roles prevalent at the time. It serves as a testament to how American society was evolving during this period, with more opportunities opening up for women beyond domestic spheres. The license plate visible on the vehicle proudly displays "RED CROSS" emphasizing its affiliation with one of America's most respected humanitarian organizations. This photograph not only celebrates the resilience and resourcefulness of these female workers but also pays tribute to the vital role played by the American Red Cross during times of crisis. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in American history when courageous women defied societal norms to contribute meaningfully towards public welfare through their involvement with organizations like the American Red Cross Motor Corps.
