EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1944, we are transported back to the Second World War at the GWR Road Motor Depot in Slough, Berkshire. The image showcases a remarkable moment of gender equality as a female worker fearlessly takes charge of servicing a Thorncroft lorry. During these tumultuous times, women were entrusted with jobs traditionally reserved for men, and this photograph beautifully captures their resilience and determination. With sleeves rolled up and tools in hand, she epitomizes the spirit of wartime Britain. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of an industrial setting; rows of vehicles stand tall like silent sentinels awaiting repair. This brave woman's expertise shines through as she meticulously tends to every detail, ensuring that these essential machines remain operational during such critical times. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder that war knows no boundaries when it comes to gender roles. Women stepped forward bravely to fill vital positions on the home front while their male counterparts fought on distant battlefields. Preserved within the STEAM Museum of the GWR collection, this print encapsulates not only an era but also pays tribute to those unsung heroes who defied societal norms and contributed significantly towards victory.
