EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing women at work in a naval ship-building yard during World War I in 1916. In a time when traditional gender roles were strictly defined, these women can be seen fearlessly handling long steel bars, taking on jobs that were typically reserved for men. Their contribution to the war effort was not only crucial but also revolutionary, as it played a significant role in breaking down barriers and challenging societal norms. This shift towards gender equality ultimately led to women winning the right to vote shortly after the end of the war. The image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of these pioneering women who defied expectations and proved their capabilities in male-dominated industries. Their bravery and hard work were an important factor in shaping history and paving the way for future generations of women to pursue their ambitions without limitations. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Rights Managed, let us honor the courage and strength of these trailblazing women who made invaluable contributions to both the war effort and the fight for gender equality.
