EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a significant moment in the history of women's education and employment. Taken from Punch magazine on 14 September 1913, the cartoon depicts an improving result of university education for women. Lady Boot, the prominent figure behind Boots Stores, offered employment as assistants to 50 women graduates with the belief that it would raise the standard of shopwomen. In this engraving, we witness a powerful intersection between feminism and work. The image symbolizes a turning point when educated women were given opportunities beyond traditional gender roles. Lady Boot's progressive decision challenged societal norms by recognizing the value of higher education for women and its potential impact on labor standards. The cartoon serves as a testament to the growing recognition of female intellectual capabilities during this era. It highlights both the increasing demand for skilled workers in retail establishments and society's acknowledgment that educated women could contribute significantly to various fields. This historical artifact sheds light on an important chapter in feminist history, showcasing how educational advancements paved new paths for professional growth among women. It reminds us of those who dared to challenge conventions and championed equal opportunities long before it became mainstream discourse
