EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of ten determined and proud women police officers, standing tall in their uniforms, taken in the studio of Fred W Jassell in Carlisle during the 1920s. The women, dressed in their distinctive police uniforms, exude a sense of authority and professionalism. The sergeant, identified by her insignia on her collar and cuffs, stands confidently in the front row, her gaze fixed steadily ahead. The other officers, with their ties, jackets adorned with buttons and shiny helmet badges, uniformly display their chain of office and service medals. Their skirts are hitched up to accommodate their boots, and their sleeves are rolled up, ready for action. This image is a testament to the growing role of women in the police force during the early 20th century, a time when women's rights and gender equality were gaining momentum. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, was a period of social, cultural, and political change, and the presence of these women officers in the force was a significant milestone in the history of women's service and employment. The photograph, with its timeless composition and the women's unwavering gaze, serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of these pioneering policewomen.
