EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'The Summer Girl,' captures a moment in history during World War One when the traditional roles of women began to shift. The image features a group of women, dressed in summery dresses and hats, gathered around a pool. In the background, two army officers confer, their uniforms and stern expressions contrasting with the lighthearted atmosphere of the women. This scene is a poignant reminder of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC), which was formed in January 1917. The WAAC was established to provide support services for the British military, allowing men to be deployed to the front lines. The women in this photograph may have been part of this corps, which included clerks, typists, and other essential support staff. The formation of the WAAC represented a significant departure from the prevailing social norms of the time, which relegated women to domestic roles. The women in this photograph embody the spirit of determination and adaptability that characterized the WAAC and the broader war effort. Their presence in the workforce during this period paved the way for greater opportunities and recognition for women in the years to come. This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's roles in the military and in society as a whole. The image invites us to reflect on the resilience and resourcefulness of women during times of crisis and to appreciate the impact they have had on shaping the world we live in today.
