EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration from the WW2 children's book, The Girls Of Today, captures a moment of joy and normalcy amidst the chaos of wartime. The image depicts a happy postwoman delivering mail with a smile on her face, showcasing the important role that women played in keeping communication lines open during World War II. The post girl in this print is a symbol of resilience and strength, embodying the spirit of determination that characterized so many women who stepped up to fill essential roles on the home front while their loved ones were away at war. Her cheerful demeanor serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, there are moments of brightness and hope to be found. Created by Allan Burrows circa 1940s, this illustration is not just a snapshot of history but also a celebration of female empowerment and solidarity. It reminds us that no matter the circumstances, women have always been capable of rising to any challenge with grace and courage. As we look back on this piece from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, let us honor all those brave women who served as postwomen, nurses, factory workers, and more during WWII - their contributions may have been overlooked in history books but they were truly invaluable.
