EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Peter Bolter, we are introduced to Aileen Jones, a remarkable woman breaking barriers in the male-dominated field of emergency services. At 36 years old, Aileen stands as the only female helm in the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) in Wales. The image was taken on May 21st, 1999 at Porthcawl in Wales, where she selflessly volunteers her time and expertise. The photograph showcases Aileen's undeniable determination and passion for her role as she confidently stands beside one of the lifeboats under her command. Her presence exudes strength and resilience, reminding us that gender should never limit one's capabilities or aspirations. As part of a crew dedicated to saving lives at sea, Aileen plays an integral role within the RNLI. This candid shot beautifully captures both her commitment to serving others and her love for maritime transport. With boats dotting the background, it is evident that Aileen feels most at home amidst these vessels that symbolize hope and safety for those facing perilous waters. Peter Bolter's skillful composition allows us to witness a pivotal moment in history when women like Aileen began shattering glass ceilings within traditionally male-dominated professions. This powerful image serves as an inspiration not only for aspiring female helms but also for anyone striving to overcome societal expectations and make their mark on the world through unwavering dedication and courage.
