EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Humorous Take on the Early Days of the Women's Emergency Corps in WWI In this delightful cartoon from September 1914, a determined member of the Women's Emergency Corps stands at the counter of a shop, her armband proudly displayed, requesting a "gross of safety pins." The assistant, with a smirk and a patronizing tone, asks, "Oh, dear lady, do you mean a dozen?" The cartoon, titled "Be Prepared!", offers a humorous glimpse into the early days of the Women's Emergency Corps during the First World War. Established in response to the urgent need for support during the conflict, the Corps was made up of hundreds of thousands of women who volunteered their time and skills to aid the war effort. The woman in the cartoon is a testament to the resourcefulness and preparedness of these women. With a serious expression and unwavering determination, she requests a large quantity of safety pins, demonstrating the importance of being prepared for any situation that might arise. The assistant's response, with his condescending tone and assumption that the woman doesn't know what she's asking for, highlights the sexist attitudes that women faced during this time. Despite these challenges, the Women's Emergency Corps continued to make significant contributions to the war effort, proving that they were more than capable of handling the demands of wartime. This charming cartoon, with its clever use of humor and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the important role that women played during the First World War. A must-have for any history or women's studies collection, this image is a reminder of the resilience and determination of the women who served in the Women's Emergency Corps and the crucial impact they had on the war effort.
