EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cookery School, 1911" captures a significant moment in the history of education for girls. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this print showcases the Cookery School at Manchester High School for Girls. The image is part of a private collection and was originally used as an illustration for Sara A Burstall's book, "The Story of the Manchester High School for Girls 1871-1911". In this snapshot, we see young female students engaged in culinary activities within a well-equipped kitchen. The atmosphere exudes both focus and enthusiasm as these girls immerse themselves in their studies. This photograph serves as a testament to the progressive nature of education during that era. The significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its portrayal of women breaking traditional gender roles by pursuing practical skills like cooking. It symbolizes empowerment through education and challenges societal norms prevalent at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how far society has come regarding equal opportunities for women's education. This print encapsulates the spirit of progressiveness and resilience displayed by those pioneering young ladies who attended Manchester High School for Girls over a century ago.
