Women Striving Forward, 1910s – 1940s

To commemorate International Women’s Day (March 8), here are 23 photos that highlight the many arenas in which women have striven individually and collectively not only for their own betterment, but for better conditions and greater justice in the world at large. The photos caught our eye because they show the resilience, determination, and humor that it takes to survive and flourish, sometimes against great odds.

The pictures were suggested by staff and members of the Library of Congress Women’s History Discussion Group, where researchers and staff gather monthly to discuss their studies and research strategies.
