The extraction of copper and coal from the ground tended to be characterised by a 100% male worker base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil industry followed this trend, but not entirely, and women are far from excluded from the history of the US oil industry. However, women prospectors faced widespread prejudice regarding their ability to do business or understand the industry. Once they struck oil, they had to work harder than men to attract investors and were often barred from the male-only saloons where many deals were made. It was an uphill battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis made the stories of female pioneer success more laudable and I wanted to celebrate this within my wider storytelling series about women living and working on the final frontier. Westerns have been too male dominated for years and woman often play the lead role in our stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI learnt of a woman - Emma Summers - who, in 1893, used the $700 she earned from piano lessons to take half ownership of a well and build a business producing\u003cbr\u003e50,000 barrels a month. She became known as the “Oil Queen of California”. We built this set using prompts from an archival picture of a derrick in the early 20th century. I think my team did an excellent job with the wooden tower and it made for as good a backdrop as I could have had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKelsey Merritt was my Landwoman for this shot; she always brings grace and commitment to set and is a joy to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~ David Yarrow\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42655350554695,"sku":null,"price":50000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1213\/7518\/files\/David-Yarrow-sorrel-sky-gallery-Photographic-Print-LANDWOMAN-Colour.png?v=1774904056","url":"https:\/\/sorrelsky.com\/products\/landwoman-colour","provider":"Sorrel Sky Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
