EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a group of women railroad workers at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shops in Lorain, Ohio during World War I. The image, taken in 1917 by Bain News Service, showcases the strength and resilience of these women as they step into roles traditionally held by men during a time of great need.
The women are depicted standing outside the shop, covered in dirt from their hard work on the railways. Their direct gazes convey determination and pride as they break barriers and contribute to the war effort through their labor.
In an era when gender roles were strictly defined, these B & O Women Workers defied societal norms to take on essential jobs that kept the trains running smoothly. This photograph serves as a testament to their courage and dedication in a male-dominated industry.
As we reflect on this piece of history captured over a century ago, we honor the legacy of these pioneering women who paved the way for future generations of female workers. Their contribution to the war effort and their impact on breaking down gender barriers continue to inspire us today.
