EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the determination and resilience of a woman tractor driver at Wye in Kent during the final year of the First World War. With men away at the front lines, women took on numerous traditionally male roles to support the war effort and keep the country running. Farming and agriculture were no exception, and women like this one became skilled operators of heavy machinery such as tractors. The year is 1918, and the woman is seen pausing in her work to oil the government tractor, ensuring its continued functionality. Her focused expression and practical attire reflect the hard labor and dedication required to keep the land productive during these challenging times. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the significant contributions women made during the First World War, often working long hours under difficult conditions to maintain the home front. As the war raged on, women proved their worth in various industries, shattering gender stereotypes and paving the way for greater gender equality in the years to come. This photograph is a testament to their courage and resourcefulness, as they stepped up to the plate and took on roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of men.
