EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Roberts, a dedicated Physical Education instructor at Bedford College for Women in London during the early 20th century, is captured in this enchanting photograph dating back to 1917. The image showcases Miss Roberts in her element, surrounded by a group of engaged and attentive students. The serene expression on her face conveys a deep sense of passion and commitment to her craft. Miss Roberts' role as a Physical Education teacher was groundbreaking for the time, as women's education in this area was not yet widely recognized or institutionalized. Bedford College, which opened its doors in 1849, was one of the first colleges in the UK to provide higher education for women, and the inclusion of Physical Education in the curriculum was a testament to the forward-thinking approach of the institution. The students in the photograph appear to be fully immersed in the lesson, their focused expressions and postures reflecting the importance of the subject matter. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a historical record of the early days of women's education in Physical Education and the influential role of teachers like Miss Roberts. This photograph, with its timeless quality and powerful sense of history, is a treasure from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online. It serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of dedicated educators and the transformative power of education, particularly in the realm of Physical Education for women.
