EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, women's roles in society underwent a significant transformation. With men leaving for the battlefields, the agricultural industry was in dire need of laborers. Enterprising and resourceful, women answered the call, stepping out of their traditional roles and into the fields as manual laborers. This photograph, taken in 1916, depicts a woman gardener atop her motorcycle, her tools neatly arranged beside her. The motorcycle, a symbol of freedom and independence, became a popular mode of transportation for these intrepid women as they traversed the vast expanses of farmland. The woman in the image wears a simple yet practical outfit, donning a hat to shield herself from the sun and a sturdy apron to protect her clothes. Her determined expression and confident posture speak volumes about her resilience and determination to contribute to the war effort in any way she could. The war years saw an unprecedented surge in women's employment, with an estimated 800,000 women entering the agricultural workforce alone. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of women during a time of great upheaval, when they rose to the challenge and proved their worth as valuable contributors to society. This evocative image, captured by the Illustrated London News Ltd and featuring the renowned photographer Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when women's roles shifted, and they embraced new opportunities with courage and tenacity.
