EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from September 1944, we witness the remarkable story of Mrs. Pittock, a five-foot woman who fearlessly steps into the shoes of a coalman. As the original coalman employed by Mr. E. Stone of Mistley, near Colchester, Essex is called up for duty during the Second World War, Mrs. Pittock eagerly takes on his responsibilities. With determination shining in her eyes and an unwavering spirit, Mrs. Pittock proves that size is no obstacle when it comes to hard work and dedication. This bright and willing little woman fearlessly embraces the challenges that come with working in such a heavy industry as coal mining. Clad in her work attire, she effortlessly carries sacks filled with fuel on her petite frame - a testament to her strength both physically and mentally. Her presence amidst male-dominated labor forces during wartime serves as an inspiration to women everywhere. This photograph captures not only the resilience of individuals like Mrs. Pittock but also symbolizes the collective efforts made by women during World War II to keep industries running smoothly despite facing adversity on multiple fronts. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, let us remember those unsung heroes who stepped outside societal norms to contribute their skills towards building a better future for all - regardless of gender or stature.
