A Glimpse into the Progressive Role of Women - A Woman Tram-Conductor, Chile, 1922
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history when women were breaking societal norms and venturing into traditionally male-dominated professions. Taken in Chile during the vibrant 1920s, this image showcases a confident woman tram-conductor dressed impeccably in her uniform - an elegant hat perched atop her head and a smart skirt completing her ensemble. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the sign that warns people not to board while the tram is in motion. This small detail serves as a reminder of both safety precautions and the growing importance of public transportation during this era. Published as part of Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past, volume II, edited by J. A. Hammerton, this print offers valuable insight into ethnography and ethnology.

A. Hammerton himself, let us celebrate these trailblazing women who
