EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Howard Hollem in 1942, showcases the remarkable story of Mary Louise Stepan. At just 21 years old, Mary used to work as a waitress before finding herself at Consolidated Aircraft Corp. in Fort Worth, Texas during the Second World War. In this image, we see Mary diligently working on transport parts in the hand mill. As she focuses on her task with precision and dedication, it is evident that she has embraced her new role as an essential part of the war effort. With a brother serving in the air corps, Mary's commitment to contributing to the cause runs deep. Hollem's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when women like Mary stepped up and entered traditionally male-dominated industries. This image serves as a testament to their strength and determination. The vibrant colors of this photograph bring life to its historical significance. It reminds us of America's industrial prowess during this pivotal period and highlights how women played an integral role in shaping our nation's destiny. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Howard Hollem's collection held at the Library of Congress, let us remember and honor all those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes for our country during World War II – especially extraordinary individuals like Mary Louise Stepan who defied societal norms and made invaluable contributions towards victory.
