Buttons We Can't Live Without: A War Work Woman Lift Operator in Circa 1918 Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, women's roles in society underwent a significant transformation. As men were called to the frontlines, the labor market was left with a massive void that needed to be filled. In response, women, driven by their unwavering determination and the desire to contribute to the war effort, stepped up to the plate, defying societal norms and expectations. This photograph, taken circa 1918, features a war work woman proudly donning a smart uniform as she operates a lift. The image serves as a testament to the indispensable role women played during this period. The buttons on her uniform, a symbol of her commitment and dedication, are a reminder of the sacrifices and contributions made by these remarkable women. The suffragette movement, which had been gaining momentum in the years leading up to the war, played a crucial role in paving the way for women's entry into the workforce. The war served as a catalyst, shattering the glass ceiling and opening doors to new opportunities. Women proved their worth in various industries, from munitions factories to offices, hospitals, and transportation. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history when women's rights and suffrage took center stage. It stands as a powerful symbol of resilience, determination, and the indomitable spirit of women who, despite the challenges, continued to press on and make history. The buttons on their uniforms, a simple yet powerful accessory, became a testament to their unwavering commitment and the essential role they played in the war effort.
