EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the spirit of hard work and determination during a pivotal moment in American history. Taken by Howard Hollem in 1942 at the Naval Air Base in Corpus Christi, Texas, it showcases Bowen, a riveter, and Olsen, her supervisor, working together in the Assembly and Repair Department. In this image, we witness the significant role women played during World War II as they stepped into traditionally male-dominated professions to support the war effort. Bowen's strong presence symbolizes the countless women who took on challenging jobs previously reserved for men. Her focused expression reflects her commitment to excellence and dedication to serving her country. Olsen stands beside Bowen with an air of authority and respect. As her supervisor, he represents not only their professional relationship but also highlights how gender roles were shifting during this era. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment frozen in time. The aircraft propeller behind them serves as a reminder of technological advancements that propelled America forward during wartime. Howard Hollem's photograph is a testament to the strength and resilience displayed by individuals like Bowen and Olsen who contributed significantly to America's military might. It serves as a powerful tribute to all those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes for their nation's defense.
