Some Of The First Women In Television…

Here’s LIFE Magazine photo spread from WBKB in Chicago in 1947. The camera is a Dumont and is being operated by a female. During WWII, this facility was on the air as an experimental station and many of the engineers and studio staff were women. There are plenty more WBKB photos too, just keep clicking on the related images to the right of the main photo on the page this link takes you to.
