EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Female water carriers, Amarah, Iraq, 1917-1919" takes us back to a significant moment in history. In the early 20th century, amidst the bustling market of Amarah, these determined women can be seen carrying heavy loads of water on their shoulders. The image portrays the concept of effort and resilience as they navigate through their daily tasks. Dressed in traditional veils and hijabs, these female water carriers exemplify the strength and dedication that characterized women's roles during this time period. Their occupation was vital for providing clean water to households and businesses alike. Walking with purpose along the streets of Amarah, they were an essential part of the local trade and transportation system. The monochrome portrait captures not only their physical labor but also offers a glimpse into their lives as hardworking individuals who played a crucial role in supporting their families and communities. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to both the historical significance of these women's work and their contribution to society. As we reflect upon this image from over a century ago, it reminds us to appreciate those who have come before us - those whose efforts often go unnoticed but are integral to our collective progress.
