EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history when women took charge and ran a town for one remarkable day. Aurora, Illinois witnessed an extraordinary event as the ladies of the community united to combat their Public Enemy No 1 - the bachelor. During this empowering occasion, women assumed positions of authority at police stations and even within the town's fire department, ready to face any challenges that may arise. Thankfully, no fires occurred on that particular day, but it was undoubtedly reassuring to see these capable women prepared for any emergency. The image captures Miss Helen Thompson, temporarily appointed as Chief of Police during this groundbreaking period. With determination etched across her face and gun in hand, she inspects her weapon with confidence and poise. Her presence symbolizes not only strength but also represents countless other women who stepped up to lead their community. Dated March 12th, 1936 - a time between wars where societal norms were being challenged worldwide - this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of gender equality and female empowerment. It stands as a testament to those brave women who dared to challenge traditional roles and prove their capabilities beyond measure. This black-and-white monochrome image is part of Planet News' press photography collection from the thirties era.
