EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in April 1915, captures the determination and resilience of London's first female railway porter as she skillfully manages a milk churn at Marylebone Station during World War I. With the men away at the front lines, women were called upon to take on new roles and responsibilities on the homefront, including manual labor jobs in industries such as transportation. The First World War brought about a significant shift in societal norms and gender roles, as women stepped up to fill the void left by the absence of men in various sectors. The railway industry was no exception. In this image, we see a woman in a traditional male-dominated role, demonstrating her strength and ability to handle heavy loads with ease. Her uniform, complete with a porter's cap, signifies her newfound status as a railway worker. The photograph serves as a testament to the courage and adaptability of women during wartime, as they took on new challenges and proved their worth in traditionally male-dominated fields. This powerful image not only showcases the impact of the war on the workforce but also highlights the important contributions made by women during this pivotal moment in history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience displayed by women during the First World War and beyond.
