I chose my image at first by clicking randomly through the\npages of the FSA photographs to see which of the many would catch my eye. I came\nacross a page that seemed to be focused on the working class of America in the\n1930s and the images caught my attention. My image in particular caught my attention\nbecause I felt it represented the working woman very well and it was very\nempowering to me. I feel it revealed that the documentary evidence was very\nunfiltered in the 1930s. I feel that it is because they wanted to capture every\nmoment, such as women entering the workplace. The picture depicts a woman,\nVirginia Davis, working in a factory which surprised me in a sense because I\ndid not think there would be photographs depicting women in the workplace\npublished in 1940. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized\nits validity. The background of the image was given. The background stated that\nVirginia Davis \u201cmade arrangement for the care of her two children during the\nday and joined her husband at work in the Naval Air Base, Corpus Christi,\nTexas. Both are employed under Civil Service in the Assembly and repair\ndepartment. Mrs. Davis’ training will enable her to take the place of her\nhusband should he be called by the armed service\u201d (Hollem 1942). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

               What\nmade me understand the validity of the picture was the fact that I considered the\ndescription of the picture and realized that the photographer, Howard Hollem, was\nmost likely attempting to promote women in the workplace. By promoting them, he\nwas not only empowering these women and showing them they were equally capable\nof performing a \u201cman\u2019s job\u201d, but he was also doing their families a service as\nthe women would work in place of the men causing no negative affect on the\nincome or well being of the family. I believe the picture has a very strong\nimpact socially. I think it portrays women as strong and in a different light\nthan they have been portrayed in before as housewives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
