EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the First World War era. The image showcases a remarkable member of the Women's Land Army diligently cutting wheat in Cornwall around 1917. This powerful photograph captures not only her unwavering determination but also highlights the vital role women played during this tumultuous period. The focus of the picture is on a young woman driving a binder with a three-horse team, effortlessly maneuvering through the golden fields. Her strong presence and skillful handling of the machinery symbolize both strength and resilience amidst challenging times. In the background, stooks can be seen neatly arranged, evidence of their hard work and dedication to ensuring food security for their nation. Photographer Arthur William Jordan masterfully captures this moment, freezing it in time for future generations to appreciate and admire. Through his lens, he immortalizes these brave women who stepped up during wartime when men were called away to fight on distant battlefields. This poignant image serves as a reminder that history is not solely shaped by those who bear arms but also by those who tirelessly contribute behind-the-scenes. The courage displayed by these Cornish girls echoes throughout generations as an inspiration for all women striving for equality and recognition today. As we gaze upon this extraordinary snapshot from our past, let us honor these unsung heroes whose efforts helped shape our world while acknowledging that their contributions extend far beyond any commercial use could ever capture or convey.
