EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A New Zealand Corps of Amazons, 1900" takes us back to a remarkable moment in history. Captured by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a group of courageous women known as the New Zealand Corps of Amazons. The photo depicts these extraordinary women dressed in military attire, standing tall with unwavering determination. Their presence challenges traditional gender roles and highlights their significant contribution during times of war. The Illustrated London News published this illustration on April 28,1900, shedding light on the valiant efforts made by these brave warriors. Lady Douglas can be seen amongst them; her leadership and resilience inspiring those around her. This powerful image serves as a reminder that strength knows no bounds when it comes to defending one's country. The backdrop reveals Government House in Wellington, where these fierce soldiers gathered before embarking on their mission against the Boer forces. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in time when more men were needed for war efforts – hence the creation of this incredible all-female corps. Preserved within a private collection and now brought to life through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this historic print allows us to reflect upon the indomitable spirit displayed by these trailblazing women who defied societal norms and fought for what they believed in.
