EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait photograph, Henrietta Adler, also known as Nettie Adler (1868-1950), is seen in the elegant attire of the 1920s, making history as one of the first women to be elected and take her seat on the London County Council as a Jewish Liberal Party politician. The year was 1922, a time when women's participation in local government was still a groundbreaking achievement. Born in London to a Jewish family, Adler was an active member of the Liberal Party and a committed community leader. Her dedication to public service began early in her career, as she worked tirelessly to improve the living conditions of the working-class Jewish community in the East End of London. Her efforts earned her the respect and admiration of her peers, leading to her election to the London County Council. Adler's tenure on the council was marked by her unwavering commitment to social justice and equality. She advocated for better housing, education, and healthcare for the most vulnerable members of society, and was a vocal supporter of women's suffrage and Jewish rights. Her groundbreaking achievement paved the way for future generations of women to enter the world of politics and make their voices heard in local government. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Adler's career, as she stands confidently before the camera, a symbol of the progress that was being made in the fight for women's rights and equal representation in politics. The image is a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of one woman who dared to challenge the status quo and make a difference in her community.
