EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the banks of the Tigris River in Baghdad, Iraq during the years 1917-1919. The image depicts a group of women diligently collecting water from the river, showcasing their strength and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. In this historical snapshot, we witness these remarkable females carrying out their daily task with grace and determination. Clad in traditional veils and hijabs, they navigate the riverbank effortlessly while holding containers filled with precious water. A child can be seen by their side, perhaps learning from an early age about the importance of hard work and resourcefulness. The portrait captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects on themes such as female empowerment, occupation, and geography. It serves as a reminder of the vital role that women have played throughout history, often taking on essential responsibilities within their communities. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene from over a century ago, our minds are transported to an era where life was simpler yet undoubtedly challenging. This photograph is a testament to both the indomitable spirit of these women and their contribution to shaping Iraq's rich cultural heritage. Credit must be given to Unknown (creator) for capturing this poignant image that stands as a powerful symbol of strength amidst adversity.
