EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Inspector Alice Bertha Clayden stands proudly in the yard of Crawford Place Police Station in London, surrounded by her three brothers: Sergeant Frank Frayn Clayden, Inspector Charles Henry Clayden, and Sergeant Alfred William Clayden. The image, captured in 1928, tells a powerful story of determination, resilience, and the fight for gender equality in the workplace. During the 1920s, the British government, under the leadership of Sir Ernest Geddes, implemented a series of cost-cutting measures that resulted in the reduction of policewomen from 112 to a mere 20. Alice Bertha Clayden, who had joined the Metropolitan Police Force in 1918, was appointed as the inspector in charge of the remaining women officers. She was the first woman officer to hold the rank of Inspector. In the photograph, Inspector Clayden wears her uniform with pride, her peaked cap adorned with her inspector's badge and stripes on her sleeves. Her brothers, all policemen, stand beside her, wearing their sergeant's uniforms and caps. Their support and solidarity are evident in their expressions and body language. The image is a testament to the challenges faced by women in the workforce during the early 20th century and the importance of family and sisterhood in overcoming them. It also highlights the significant role that Alice Bertha Clayden played in paving the way for future generations of women in law enforcement. The photograph captures a moment in time, frozen in history, that continues to inspire and remind us of the progress that has been made towards gender equality and the importance of standing up for what is right.
