EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1943 captures a significant moment in history, showcasing two British Overseas Airways stewardesses on their way to join a waiting flying-boat during the Second World War. The image symbolizes the important role that women played during this time of conflict, as the war opened up new opportunities for female workers in various industries.
The stewardesses are seen in the stern of a motor-launch, exuding confidence and determination as they head out to embark on their mission. This photograph is not just a snapshot of two individuals; it represents the resilience and strength of all women who stepped up to take on roles traditionally reserved for men.
Employed for the first time on civilian flying-boats, these pioneering air stewardesses were breaking barriers and proving that gender should never be an obstacle when it comes to pursuing one's dreams. Their contribution was crucial in ensuring smooth operations and providing comfort to passengers during turbulent times.
As we look back at this historical moment captured by Rights Managed, we are reminded of the importance of diversity and inclusion in every aspect of society. These brave women paved the way for future generations, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire us today.
