EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment when Woman Police Officer Marion Hatton rode her horse through a London park in the late 1970s. The year was 1977, a decade after women were first appointed to the Metropolitan Police Mounted Branch in 1970. Hatton, dressed in her distinctive uniform complete with peaked cap and jacket, cuts an authoritative figure as she rides her horse through the lush grass, with a fence and trees in the background. The appointment of women to the police force was a significant milestone in the fight for gender equality and women's rights in the workplace. Prior to this, women in the police force were relegated to administrative roles or limited to working in the Women's Police Patrol, which focused on dealing with issues related to women and children. The Mounted Branch, with its iconic horseback officers, was considered a prestigious and challenging role within the police force. Riding horses required a high level of physical fitness, strength, and horsemanship skills, making it a male-dominated domain. However, the appointment of women like Hatton challenged these gender norms and paved the way for greater gender equality in the police force and beyond. This photograph is a testament to the determination and courage of women like Marion Hatton, who broke down barriers and opened up new opportunities for women in law enforcement. It also serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made towards gender equality in the workplace and the importance of continuing to challenge gender stereotypes and biases in all areas of society.
