EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Archibald Standish Hartrick, titled "Women's Work: On the Land - Ploughing," showcases the remarkable resilience and determination of two women as they engage in agricultural work during World War I. The image is part of a portfolio series commissioned by the Ministry of Information in 1917, entitled "The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals." As men left for the battlefields, women stepped up to fill the gaps on the Home Front, joining the Women's Land Army to replace them in the fields. This powerful visual document from 1917 highlights the significant role women played in ensuring the country's food production continued during the war effort. The suffragette movement, which fought for women's rights and suffrage, had gained momentum before the war, and this image underscores the progress made towards gender equality during this pivotal period in history. Hartrick's masterful use of light and shadow brings depth and emotion to the scene, capturing the grit and determination of these women as they plough the land, their faces set in concentration and focus. This poignant image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the women who answered the call to serve their country in unexpected ways, paving the way for future generations.
