1865 Clerk Feminism Movement Progressive Era Rain Storm Street Scene Treasury Treasury Department Umbrella
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "TREASURY CLERKS, 1865" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a group of female clerks exiting the Treasury Department in Washington, D. C. , during the year 1865. As they step onto the rain-soaked streets, each woman carries an umbrella to shield herself from the stormy weather. The wood engraving, originally published in a newspaper of that era, beautifully captures this bustling street scene amidst a downpour. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during this transformative period known as the Progressive Era. These hardworking women were breaking barriers by working as clerks in such an important government institution. Their presence symbolizes not only their dedication and professionalism but also their contribution towards feminism and gender equality. In an era when women's rights were still being fought for across America, these treasury clerks represented progress and change. The grand Treasury building stands tall behind them—a reminder of power and authority—while these brave women navigate through adversity on their way home after another day at work. This evocative image serves as a powerful testament to resilience and determination amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon this historical photograph print from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of how far society has come while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done towards achieving true equality for all genders.
