My grandmother. Born in 1911 and from Merrick, Long Island. She worked at MetLife. In the background New York Life is being built which places this photo around 1926.
Her mother was pissed when she quit MetLife and went to work in a 34th street Barber Shop as a men's manicurist. She also modeled stockings. Oh, the scandal!
