EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, the daily lives of women war workers were filled with dedication, resilience, and the unwavering commitment to their roles in supporting the war effort. This evocative photograph, taken in 1917, captures the moment before a nurse in uniform applies Royal Vinolia Cream to her face, a simple yet essential part of her morning routine before reporting for duty at the hospital. The image is a poignant reminder of the multifaceted nature of women's experiences during the war. While they were called upon to take on new roles in industries and factories, they continued to prioritize their personal appearance and self-care, even in the most challenging of circumstances. The nurse's uniform, a symbol of her dedication and service, is juxtaposed with the elegance and refinement of the Royal Vinolia Cream bottle, a testament to the enduring importance of beauty and grooming, even in the midst of war. Royal Vinolia Cream, a popular beauty product of the time, was marketed towards women for its ability to soothe and nourish the skin. The advertisement for the cream featured in this photograph emphasizes its suitability for the busy lives of women war workers, promising to leave the skin "smooth, soft, and radiant," even in the harshest of conditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of women war workers, highlighting their strength, resilience, and the small moments of normalcy they clung to amidst the chaos of war.
