EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of relaxation and camaraderie among Police officers at a Section House in London during the 1960s. The image features a cozy sitting room filled with both male and female officers, including WPC Doreen Lyess and WPC Maggie O'Reilly (nee Farley), seated comfortably by the fireplace. The women, dressed in their uniforms, show signs of ease and enjoyment, with WPC Lyess resting her arm on the armrest of her chair and WPC O'Reilly engaged in conversation with a male officer. The photograph offers a glimpse into a time when women were making strides in gaining equal footing in the male-dominated field of law enforcement. The presence of women officers, such as WPC Lyess and O'Reilly, in this setting challenges traditional gender norms and highlights the progress towards gender equality in employment. The officers' attire reflects the era, with the women wearing short skirts and the men in suits and ties. The room, filled with armchairs and a warm fire, creates an inviting atmosphere where these dedicated professionals could unwind and connect with one another. This photograph not only showcases the human side of the police force but also serves as a testament to the evolution of women's roles in British society during the 1960s.
