File:The American Red Cross sewing room at Tirana, Albania, 05060v.jpg

English: Title: The American Red Cross sewing room at Tirana, Albania, where Mohammedan women have broken the religious custom of centuries and left the seclusion of their homes to cooperate with their Christian sisters in American relief work.

Note that the Mohammedan women attempt to hide their faces from the photographer. They had violated one precedent by removing their veils while at work
