EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the spirit of progress and equality as two determined women police officers, dressed in their full uniforms, make their way up the steps of Pembridge Hall Section House in Bayswater, London, in the 1950s. The Georgian-style building at 17 Pembridge Square serves as a symbol of the Metropolitan Police's commitment to employing women in non-traditional roles. The women, one of whom is identified as Sergeant Ethel Wood, are not only police officers but also avid tennis players, as evidenced by their tennis racquets in hand. Their sporty attire, consisting of white shirts and skirts, adds an element of sophistication and agility to their uniforms. The image reflects the growing recognition of the importance of physical fitness and well-being for women in law enforcement. The presence of women in the police force during the 1950s was a significant departure from the norm, as women were often relegated to support roles or excluded from the force altogether. This photograph, therefore, serves as a testament to the strides made towards gender equality in employment and the police force during this era. The serene and confident demeanor of the women as they ascend the steps of Pembridge Hall underscores their determination to excel in their roles as police officers and tennis players, demonstrating that women were more than capable of balancing multiple responsibilities and thriving in various aspects of life.
