EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Women's Work in the Great War" by renowned British artist Lucy Kemp-Welch, captures the spirit of women's contributions to the home front during World War I. Circa 1918, this painting celebrates the women who stepped up to fill the roles left vacant by men who had gone off to fight. Women could be found working in various trades and professions, from munitions factories to offices, hospitals, and farms. The suffragette movement, which had been advocating for women's rights and suffrage, gained new momentum during the war as women's vital roles in the war effort demonstrated their capabilities and value to society. The suffragettes, who are also depicted in this painting, had been fighting for the right to vote since the early 1900s. With the country at war, the cause took on new urgency, and by 1918, some women in the UK were granted the right to vote. This powerful image serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of women during a time of great upheaval. It is a reminder of the significant impact women had on the war effort and the progress they made towards achieving greater equality in society.
