EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from May 1944, we are transported back in time to the Sutton Women's Institute. The group portrait showcases a remarkable gathering of strong and resilient women, with one little girl and an adorable dog adding a touch of charm to the scene. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary individuals during the 1940s. The women's fashion choices reflect the era perfectly, with their elegant womenswear exuding timeless style. Despite being captured amidst challenging times, their attire radiates grace and poise. One woman can be seen leaning on a crutch, symbolizing strength in adversity and reminding us of their unwavering determination. Set against a picturesque garden backdrop adorned with arches and hedges, this photograph captures not only the spirit of camaraderie but also highlights the importance of nature as an escape during difficult times. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of turmoil, beauty can still be found. This historical gem is part of West Sussex County Council's collection and stands as a testament to both individual resilience and collective unity. As we gaze upon this image today, it reminds us to cherish our shared history while inspiring us to face challenges head-on with grace and fortitude
