EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated 1918, showcases the War Workers Alphabet - a poetic tribute to the women of the United Kingdom who courageously took on various roles during World War I. Each letter of the alphabet is accompanied by an enchanting illustration, highlighting the diverse range of jobs that these remarkable women undertook to support the war effort. Starting from 'A' for Ambulance, we see a young woman in uniform, ready to attend to the wounded. 'B' brings us to the Bus, where a determined girl driver is at the wheel. 'C' introduces us to the Commissionaire, standing proudly in front of a military camp. 'D' represents Driver, with a woman confidently maneuvering a horse-drawn carriage. 'E' is for Engine, where a woman is shown working diligently on the railways. The illustrations continue with a Farm Girl, Gardener, Horse Breaker, Ticket Inspector, Jockey, Knitter, Lift Operator, Munitions Worker, Nurse, Officer, Postwoman, QM (Quartermaster), Railway Carriage, Shepherdess, Telegraph Operator, Umbrella Seller, Van Driver, Window Cleaner, Police Officer, and Yeomanry. The final letter, 'Z', is left blank, inviting us to imagine what other jobs might have been included in this inspiring collection. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the vital contributions made by women during the First World War, and their unwavering commitment to the British war effort.
