Captured during a telephone company switchboard training class circa 1915, this image showcases the dedicated women workers who played an integral role in connecting people across vast distances. The photograph depicts a bustling interior where rows of young women are diligently seated at their switchboards, mastering the intricate art of operating telephones. Their focused expressions and poised demeanor reflect their commitment to providing seamless communication services to customers. In an era when technology was rapidly advancing, this snapshot captures the pivotal moment when telephone exchanges were becoming increasingly central to everyday life. The image serves as a testament to both the advancements in telecommunications and the vital contributions made by these skilled operators.
