RAILROAD WORKER, 1943 - A Glimpse into Mrs. Elibia Siematter's World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph taken by Jack Delano in May 1943, we are transported back to a time when the world was engulfed in the chaos of World War II. The image captures Mrs. Elibia Siematter, a dedicated sweeper at the roundhouse of the Chicago and North Western railroad in Clinton, Iowa. Dressed in her sturdy denim overalls and donning goggles for protection against flying debris, Mrs. Siematter stands proudly amidst her workplace - an interior filled with machinery and tools that keep the wheels of industry turning even during times of war. With a kerchief tied around her head to keep stray hairs at bay, she takes a momentary break from her laborious duties. Holding onto her thermos tightly, it is evident that she finds solace in savoring a simple lunch amidst the hustle and bustle surrounding her. This portrait not only showcases Mrs. Siematter's resilience as a woman working in what was traditionally considered male-dominated territory but also serves as a testament to the strength and determination displayed by countless women who stepped up during wartime to fill essential roles on America's home front. As we gaze upon this powerful snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those unsung heroes like Mrs. Elibia Siematter whose contributions played an integral part in shaping our nation's history during
