EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the determination and courage of Moya Wood-Heath, a trailblazing woman police officer, as she demonstrates self-defence techniques during an outdoor event in the early 1970s. The scene unfolds on a sunny summer day, with a lush green grassy area serving as the backdrop. Wood-Heath, dressed in her Metropolitan Police uniform, complete with a black belt and tights, is shown throwing a punch with focused intensity, her expression unwavering as she protects herself from an unseen assailant. The presence of a man, likely a trainer or fellow officer, in the background adds to the authenticity of the scene, highlighting the importance of physical strength and skill in the role of a police officer. The crowd of spectators, mostly women and men, watch with rapt attention, their expressions a mix of awe, admiration, and inspiration. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the strides made towards gender equality in employment during the 1970s, particularly in the field of law enforcement. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of women like Moya Wood-Heath, who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations of policewomen. The image also underscores the importance of self-defence training for all individuals, regardless of gender, and the crucial role it plays in ensuring personal safety and security.
