EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment during the chaotic and challenging times of World War I. Circa 1917, in the midst of the Great War, two respectable married women, both railway porters, are shown extending a gesture of kindness and compassion to a stranded old lady passenger. The image, taken during the era of the suffragette movement fighting for women's rights and suffrage, underscores the strength and resilience of women in the face of adversity. The scene unfolds on a railway platform, with the porters, dressed in their uniforms, offering the elderly woman a bed to rest. Their expressions convey a sense of empathy and concern, reflecting the solidarity and camaraderie among women during this period of upheaval. The old lady, wearing a hat and a coat, looks relieved and grateful, her weary expression speaking volumes about the hardships endured during the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles faced by women during the First World War. It also highlights the important role that women played in the transportation sector, as they took on jobs traditionally held by men, including railway porters, to support the war effort and their families. The image is a testament to the spirit of unity and compassion that emerged during this tumultuous time in history, as women rose to the occasion and demonstrated their ability to adapt and thrive in the face of adversity.
