EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the swearing-in ceremony of women into the United States Marine Corps in 1918. The image showcases eight brave women, dressed smartly in their Marine uniforms, standing tall as they take an oath to serve their country during World War I. The composition of the photo is striking, with Lieutenant George Kneller positioned on the left side while the seven women stand beside him. From left to right, we see Violet Van Wagner, Marie Schleight, Florence Wiedinger, Isabelle Balfour, Janet Kurgan, Edith Barton, and Helene Constance Dupont. Each woman exudes determination and pride as they prepare to assume office duties previously held exclusively by male Marines. The setting appears to be an interior space with an American flag prominently displayed behind them. This symbolizes their allegiance to their nation and highlights their commitment to defending its values. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the progress made towards gender equality within military institutions. These trailblazing women paved the way for future generations of female Marines who would go on to make significant contributions throughout history. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this historical moment through this remarkable print. It allows us not only to appreciate these courageous women but also reminds us of how far we have come in breaking down barriers and challenging traditional gender roles.
