EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of World War I, fashion took a backseat as resources became scarce and the focus shifted towards the war effort. Eve, the beloved gossip columnist of The Tatler and author of "Letters of Eve," pondered an unconventional solution to the material shortages in women's clothing. With a mischievous glint in her eye, she contemplated the idea of donning a policewoman's uniform with a very short skirt. The shortage of fabric was a pressing issue, but so was the shock and amusement that such a bold and cheeky fashion choice would undoubtedly cause. The year was 1918, and the role of women in society was undergoing a significant transformation. Women were taking on new jobs and responsibilities, including serving as police officers, to support the war effort. Eve, ever the humorous observer, saw an opportunity to add a touch of levity to the situation. This cartoon depicts Eve, with her characteristic bobbed hair and wide-brimmed hat, standing in front of a mirror, trying on a policewoman's uniform. Her legs are crossed, and she looks at her reflection with a smirk, as if daring the viewer to question her audacity. The uniform, complete with a badge and gun, is accompanied by a very short skirt that leaves little to the imagination. The image is a testament to the spirit of innovation and adaptability that characterized the era. Despite the challenges of war, women continued to push boundaries and challenge societal norms, even in the smallest of ways. This playful and irreverent cartoon serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit during times of adversity.
