EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the determined gaze of Capt. Adelaide B. Baylis, a pioneering bacteriologist who served as a captain in the National League of Women's Services Motor Corps during World War I. Standing proudly in her military uniform, Capt. Baylis exudes strength and resilience as she fulfills her duty on the home front.
The image, taken by Bain News Service in 1917 or 1918, showcases Capt. Baylis' dedication to her country and profession amidst the turmoil of war. Her forage cap perched atop her head and greatcoat draped over her shoulders symbolize both her role as an officer and a scientist, breaking barriers in a male-dominated field.
As one of the few female officers serving during this tumultuous time in history, Capt. Baylis paved the way for future generations of women to pursue careers in science and military service. Her legacy lives on through this powerful portrait, preserved by the Library of Congress for all to admire.
Capt. Adelaide B. Baylis may have passed away in 1965, but her impact on American history is immortalized through images like this one - a reminder of courage, determination, and unwavering patriotism that continues to inspire us today.
