The London Stock Exchange admitted at last about 12 women members
The London Stock Exchange admitted at last about 12 women members. Six of them appeared on the floor amongst the 2, 500 men who work there. Their job is mainly in the background and their appearance on the floor was a sort of showing the flag. 26th March 1973

EDITORS COMMENTS
The London Stock Exchange breaks barriers: In a historic moment on March 26th, 1973, the prestigious institution finally welcomed twelve women as members. Amongst the bustling floor of 2,500 men who typically dominate this financial hub, six brave women made their presence known. Their roles may primarily be in the background, but their appearance on the trading floor was a powerful symbol of progress and equality. This print by Bela Zola captures that significant day in history. The image showcases these trailblazing women confidently navigating amidst a sea of male counterparts. As they read newspapers and engage with colleagues, it is evident that they are determined to make their mark in this traditionally male-dominated industry. The photograph not only serves as a reminder of how far we have come but also highlights the ongoing struggle for gender equality in employment. It sheds light on the discrimination faced by women seeking opportunities within business and finance during the 1970s. Bela Zola's lens immortalizes this pivotal moment when walls were broken down and glass ceilings shattered at The London Stock Exchange. This image stands as an inspiration to future generations striving for equal representation across all professions.
