  "On August 10, 1913 Dolly Meyer and Myrtle Wright ventured the Golden Gate crossing [San Francisco, California -- before the Golden Gate Bridge was built] and both succeeded in their goal, the former with a time of one hour 28 minutes, the latter a much quicker one hour and 31 seconds. Members of the California Life Saving and Swimming Club, they were started by Captain Clark, who set them off at 11 a.m. on their course from Fort Point to Lime Point."

  I love the sense of beauty captured in her face. She seems very confident in pursuing her endeavors through her body movement. This picture is just magnificent!

  Whoa! What an incredible image. I am SO glad to see that Black women worked on aircraft, too. I love her nail polish, and her ring. I'd LOVE to know her name, if she's still alive. This is such an outstanding portrait!

  Okay, they never taught us that black women also worked as Rosie. What a crime of omission! So cool to see this.
