EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a determined and resolute Woman Munition Worker, skillfully crafted by Miss A.D. Wargent, a dedicated worker at Factory Five, during the tumultuous year of 1918. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the significant role women played in the war effort during World War I, particularly in the production of munitions. The subject of the drawing is engaged in the assembly of an 18-pounder gun, a formidable field gun that was a mainstay of the Royal Artillery. The 18-pounder, weighing in at a substantial 1,838 kilograms, was used extensively on the Western Front and played a crucial role in the Allied victory. The suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained momentum during this period. The image of a woman, traditionally relegated to the domestic sphere, working in a munitions factory and contributing to the war effort challenged societal norms and paved the way for greater gender equality. Miss Wargent's drawing, created in aid of the 18-pounder gun fund, underscores the spirit of unity and sacrifice that characterized the war years. The image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of women, who defied societal expectations and made invaluable contributions to the war effort. As we reflect on the history of the First World War, it is essential to remember the vital role women played in the war effort, both on and off the battlefield. This evocative print captures the essence of that time, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the progress that has been made since.
