EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Women's Land Army Proficiency Tests at Brinsbury in February 1944. In this snapshot, a group of determined young women eagerly watch as one of their comrades confidently handles a cart horse under the watchful eye of the Tester. The image exudes strength, resilience, and determination. During World War II, with men away fighting on the frontlines, these remarkable women stepped up to fill vital roles in agriculture. They ploughed fields, milked cows, drove tractors - all tasks traditionally associated with men. This photograph is a testament to their unwavering commitment and invaluable contribution to sustaining food production during those challenging times. The George Garland Collection beautifully preserves this historic moment that symbolizes female empowerment and breaking gender stereotypes. It serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by these unsung heroes who played an integral role in supporting their country during wartime. Housed within the West Sussex Record Office Ref. , No. Garland N23220 collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where women defied societal norms and proved their capabilities beyond measure. Let it serve as inspiration for future generations to embrace opportunities regardless of gender or societal expectations.
