RAILROAD WORKER, 1943 - A Glimpse into the Life of Cloe Weaver
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back to the year 1943, amidst the bustling roundhouse of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad in Clinton, Iowa. The subject of this portrait is none other than Cloe Weaver, a remarkable woman who defied societal norms by working as a railroad worker during World War II. In this powerful image captured by photographer Jack Delano in May 1943, we see Cloe standing confidently next to a locomotive. Dressed in denim overalls and sporting a stylish kerchief on her head, she exudes strength and determination. Her profile showcases her unique hairstyle that was popular during that era. The interior of the roundhouse serves as an intriguing backdrop for this snapshot in time. It symbolizes both hard work and progress - themes often associated with America's New Deal initiatives at that time. As an unidentified figure within history's pages, Cloe represents countless women who stepped up to fill traditionally male-dominated roles during wartime. This photograph not only immortalizes her contribution but also sheds light on the resilience and dedication displayed by women like her across America. Granger Art on Demand presents this print from their collection without any commercial intentions. Through this image, we are reminded of the unsung heroes whose efforts shaped our nation's history while challenging gender stereotypes along the way.
