A walk in Central Park. A nap. This exhibit. Boom. You did it

This exhibit at the New-York Historical Society, with photographs by six female Life photographers, is about to close this Sunday , and it’s my favorite arty thing in a long time. The photos are so enthralling that I wish the whole show were three times as big.

I’ll be thinking about this image of a single working woman eating a sandwich while reading a book for a long time.
Photo: Martha Holmes, © LIFE Picture Collection, Meredith Corporation Holmes took this electric photo of the jazz singer Billy Eckstine hugging a white woman in 1950, which at the time spurred a load of racist hate mail to Eckstine and the magazine. At the exhibit, you can see the other shots from that roll of film as the scene plays out in Holmes’s lens. For a moment, you’re there too.
Photo: Marie Hansen, © LIFE Picture Collection, Meredith Corporation Marie Hansen’s 1942 photos of “The WAACs” teach a history lesson I’m embarrassed that I’ve only just learned. During World War II, over 150,000 women enlisted to take on the duties that men deployed in combat left behind. Hansen’s photos range from cute — the recruits getting their hair cut — to more disturbing: a crowd of WAACs wearing gas masks.
