EDITORS COMMENTS
During World War I, women played a crucial role in supporting the war effort by taking on traditionally male roles in industries such as manufacturing and repair. This print captures a group of women at the Scaynes Hill Women's Institute in Sussex, England, learning how to repair army boots. In a time when men were off fighting on the front lines, these women stepped up to ensure that soldiers had properly repaired footwear to continue their service.
The image is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of women during wartime. Despite facing societal expectations and limitations, these women embraced new skills and responsibilities with patriotism and dedication. Their efforts not only contributed to the war effort but also challenged gender norms and paved the way for future generations of female workers.
This photograph serves as a testament to the strength and resourcefulness of women throughout history, particularly during times of crisis. It is a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, unity and collaboration can lead to positive change. The legacy of these pioneering women lives on through their contributions to society during World War I.
