EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of women's employment in Britain. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, it showcases pioneers who played crucial roles in breaking barriers and advancing equality for women. The image features a group of remarkable individuals who defied societal norms and fought for progress. Among them is Edith Picton Turbervill, a missionary associated with the YWCA, advocating for equal opportunities for all women. Margaret Damer Dawson stands tall as the founder of the Women's Police Service, donning her uniform that symbolizes her commitment to law enforcement. Helena Normanton, a trailblazing barrister, can be seen confidently representing female voices within the legal profession. Maude Royden, known as a powerful preacher at City Temple, was also actively involved in suffrage campaigns. Lilian Barker proudly represents working-class women as she served as superintendent at Royal Arsenal Woolwich under the Ministry of Labour. Helena Simpson breaks gender stereotypes by excelling as an accountant in a field dominated by men. This photograph not only highlights these extraordinary individuals but also signifies their collective efforts towards achieving gender equality and opening doors to various professions previously inaccessible to women. It serves as a reminder of how far society has come while acknowledging that there is still work to be done on this ongoing journey towards true inclusivity and equal opportunities for all genders.
