EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Chief Superintendent Winifred Barker, a trailblazing figure in the Metropolitan Police Force during the 1950s, is seen in her office, engrossed in a conversation with a woman in civilian clothes. The image, which exudes an aura of professionalism and camaraderie, offers a glimpse into the life of one of the first women to rise through the ranks of the Met Police, reaching the esteemed position of Chief Superintendent in 1960. The room is adorned with the trappings of a busy police office, including a large map of London spread out on the table, a filing cabinet filled with documents, and a wall adorned with maps – one of which is a notable map of Cyprus. This map serves as a reminder of Barker's distinguished service with the British Police Unit in Cyprus during an earlier phase of her career. Barker sits confidently at her desk, her uniform – complete with a peaked cap, white shirt, tie, and epaulettes – exuding an air of authority. Her smart jacket, adorned with buttons and a Chief Superintendent badge, adds to her imposing presence. Yet, despite her high rank, she is fully engaged in the conversation with her visitor, her expression warm and welcoming. The presence of an armchair in the room suggests that this is not just a workspace, but also a place where colleagues and visitors can relax and discuss important matters. The image captures a moment of connection between two individuals, one in uniform and the other in civilian clothes, highlighting the growing role of women in the police force and the strides being made towards equality in the workplace during the 1950s.
