Collector Doing Emancipation First Movement Struggle Suffrage Suffragette Suffragettes Ticket Rights
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and patriotism among women during the First World War. The young woman in the image is shown in her blue uniform, working diligently as a ticket collector. As the title suggests, she is "Doing her Bit" to support the war effort. This image dates back to circa 1915, a time when women's roles in society were undergoing significant transformation. The suffrage and suffragette movement had been gaining momentum for years, advocating for women's rights to vote and to have a greater role in political and social affairs. The war provided an opportunity for women to prove their worth and capabilities beyond the domestic sphere. With men away at the front, women took on roles in factories, offices, and even in transportation, including ticket collecting. The woman in the photograph embodies the newfound sense of female emancipation and empowerment that was sweeping through the country. Her uniform, which was once a symbol of male authority, now represents her contribution to the war effort and her place in the workforce. The blue color of her uniform, reminiscent of the suffragette movement's colors, further emphasizes the connection between women's rights and the war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles women faced during the First World War, as they fought for their rights and their country. It is a testament to their resilience and their determination to make a difference, even in the face of adversity.
