EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Inspector Sheila Ward (b. circa 1937) of the Metropolitan Police in London, making briefing instructions to a line of male officers at Kings Cross Station in the early 1970s. As the first woman to hold the post of Station Inspector, Inspector Ward's groundbreaking career paved the way for women in law enforcement. She rose through the ranks to eventually achieve the position of Chief Superintendent. In the image, Inspector Ward dons a crisp, white shirt with a checkered collar and a bowtie, paired with a dark jacket and a smart skirt with black stockings or tights. Her uniform is completed with a helmet and a notepad and pen in hand. The determined look on her face and the attentive expressions of the male officers in uniform suggest the gravity of the situation and the importance of her instructions. The photograph is a testament to the strides made towards gender equality in employment during the 1970s in Britain. Inspector Ward's unwavering commitment to her role and her ability to command respect from her male colleagues serve as a powerful symbol of the progress made towards women's rights and opportunities in law enforcement and beyond.
