EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of a resolute Women's Work WW1 Fare Lady, standing sternly by the entrance of a crowded bus or tram during World War I. Dressed in a sensible yet formal outfit, complete with a hat adorned with a badge, she exudes an air of authority and determination. The year is circa 1918, a time when women's roles were undergoing significant transformation. The Suffragettes' relentless campaigning for women's rights and suffrage had finally paid off, and women were being given opportunities to contribute to the war effort in various ways. One such way was through employment as fare collectors on public transport. This was a departure from the traditional gender roles, and the Women's Work WW1 Fare Lady embodied the newfound sense of independence and self-reliance that was sweeping through the nation. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history, when women's lives were irrevocably changed. The Women's Work WW1 Fare Lady stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of women during a time of great upheaval and change. Her unwavering gaze and firm posture convey a sense of pride and accomplishment, as she takes her place in the workforce and makes history in the process.
