EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young women from the higher social classes engaging in practical farming activities at Ladies of the Land, a model farm established in West Malvern during World War I. The farm, run by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Longe, provided these ladies with valuable training in various aspects of agriculture, including dairying, poultry culture, and goat-keeping. Among the students featured in this image are Miss Grey, the daughter of Sir Henry Grey, seventh Baronet, Miss James, the daughter of Canon James of Worcester, who was previously the headmaster of Malvern College, and Miss Margot Baldwin, the future Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's daughter. During this time, as men were away fighting in the war, it became essential for women to learn farming skills to ensure the continuity of food production. The Ladies of the Land movement aimed to empower women by providing them with the necessary knowledge and experience to contribute to the war effort and support their communities. The women in this photograph are seen working together, demonstrating their dedication and commitment to learning new skills, which would have been considered unconventional for their social class at the time. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of women during the challenging period of World War I and their significant role in agriculture and food production.
