EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph by Harris & Ewing, taken in 1916, two pioneering American social reformers, Lillian Wald and Jane Addams, stand side by side, their determined expressions reflecting their unwavering commitment to social justice and women's rights. Lillian Wald (1867-1940), a nurse and social worker, is best known for founding the Henry Street Settlement in New York City's Lower East Side, which provided essential services to immigrants and the urban poor. Addams (1860-1935), a sociologist and social worker, co-founded Hull-House in Chicago, which offered education, social services, and cultural programs to new immigrants. Both women were ardent suffragists, advocating for women's right to vote. They are dressed in their professional attire – Wald in a crisp white blouse and skirt, and Addams in a dark dress with a white collar – signifying their dedication to their respective fields. The photograph was likely taken during one of their many speaking engagements or meetings in support of women's suffrage. The setting of the photograph is not clear, but it is believed to have been taken in Washington, D.C., possibly during the National American Woman Suffrage Association's annual convention. The women's gazes are fixed on an unseen horizon, suggesting their focus on the future and the ongoing struggle for women's rights and social reform. This powerful image captures the essence of two remarkable women who dedicated their lives to improving the lives of others and paving the way for progress in America. Their enduring legacy continues to inspire generations of activists, social workers, and women's rights advocates.
