EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of a young woman as she tackles the task of window cleaning during the turbulent times of the First World War. Dressed in a khaki jacket and trousers, she blends in with the military uniforms that were common during this period. The year was 1915, and as men were away at the front lines, women and girls took on various roles to support their communities and keep businesses running. This image is a testament to their resourcefulness and adaptability, as they stepped out of their traditional roles and into the workforce. The woman in the photograph is perched on a ladder, her bucket and mop at the ready. Her expression is focused and intent, her gaze fixed on the window pane in front of her. The ladder leans against the side of a building, its shadow stretching long and dark on the ground. The bucket, suspended from the ladder by a rope, is filled with soapy water, ready for the next pane. The scene is one of quiet industry, a moment of stillness amidst the chaos and upheaval of war. This photograph is a reminder of the vital role women played during the First World War, taking on jobs that were considered to be the domain of men. It is a powerful symbol of the strength and adaptability of the human spirit, and a testament to the enduring spirit of community and cooperation that saw people come together to support each other during times of hardship.
