Crew of YWCA Four outside Gardener's boatshed, Sydney

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

    As a novice otherwise known as a "Maiden" despite my gender, I used to row in the 60's with blades like that. Since then they have been transformed and today the blades are very different from those. Lovely photograph of fine looking young ladies and a wonderful explanation of the circumstances, well done ANMM.

    Thanks folks! A great set of images from the formative years of women's rowing in Australia.

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It is funny you should come back to these images Quasymody - I have been doing some research on dear Trixie. We have a photo album of hers on display in the museum and hey presto! It is open to the photo that appears in the 1933 AWW article so it is her crew! When I get the chance to view the album in depth I will let you know the names, it appears that each pic has info on the back just hard to get to currently... Thanks so much for the articles, locking them away into our catalogue :)

Ann Fulton Club (LOC)

    An article in the Feb. 23, 1918 Brooklyn Eagle describes the creation of the Ann Fulton House by the War Work Council of the YWCA at 115 Fulton in Manhattan, a clubhouse formed for the women who were working in Wall Street because of the war. The article quotes an insurance company manager who said he had 125 women working for him as opposed to 12 a year earlier. bklyn.newspapers.com/image/57092638/?terms=115%2Bfulton

    Thanks Art Siegel for the information about the Ann Fulton House. We will add some details to the image description. Interesting to see the colorized version of the related image too!

    This seems likely to have been taken at YWCA meeting hosted by Mrs Willard Straight (the former Dorothy Whitney). According to NYT of Oct 22, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9800E2DA113CE633A... speakers included Miss Jessie Wilson, Miss Elizabeth W, Dodge (daughter of Cleveland Dodge), and Mrs Harry M. Bremer.

    LOC -- in your title, "Elisa" should be "Eliza" -- the zee on Bain's negative is backwards.
  • Jeff said:
    Thanks, Wystan. Eliza with a zee.
