EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1946, Lady Prunella Stack, née Prunella Stack, stands amongst her dedicated students and teachers of the Women's League of Health and Beauty, as they prepare for the league's first peace-time rally in Regents Park. The image captures the spirit of camaraderie and determination that defined the organization, which had been founded by Lady Prunella's mother, Mary Bagot Stack, in 1930. Originally established to provide affordable evening exercise classes for business girls and working women, the league had become a vital source of support and community during the challenging years of the Second World War. Tragically, Lady Prunella's husband, Sir David Douglas-Hamilton, had been killed during the war with the RAF. In the aftermath of his death, she devoted even more time and energy to the league, which had become a cherished refuge for countless women seeking solace and strength in the face of adversity. The photograph shows Lady Prunella in her role as a compassionate and inspiring leader, surrounded by her devoted followers, all of whom were eager to participate in the rally and celebrate the importance of health, fitness, and wellbeing in their lives. The scene is set against the backdrop of Regents Park, a beautiful and tranquil oasis in the heart of London, which provided the perfect setting for the rally. The women, dressed in their best gym attire, are seen rehearsing their routines with their teachers, their determined expressions and focused gazes conveying their commitment to the cause. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and fortitude of the Women's League of Health and Beauty and the vital role it played in the lives of countless women during a time of great upheaval and change.
