EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the experience of storewomen during the Second World War. Taken from the Life in the A. T. S. booklet on the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), this image showcases women who served in the British Army, receiving only two-thirds of what their male counterparts earned. In this snapshot, we witness a group of experienced storewomen dressed in their uniforms, representing their dedication to supporting the war effort on the home front. Initially assigned as cooks, clerks, and storekeepers, these resilient women took on expanded roles such as orderlies, drivers, postal workers, and ammunition inspectors. The photograph emanates strength and determination as these ladies stand together with pride. Their presence challenges traditional gender norms by showcasing their professionalism and commitment to serving their country during a time of great turmoil. As we delve into this historical moment frozen in time by Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. , London in 1940, it is important to acknowledge not just their occupation but also how they defied societal expectations. This image serves as a reminder that women played an integral role in shaping history even when faced with inequality. Let us honor these courageous women who stood tall amidst adversity while contributing significantly to Britain's war efforts during World War II.
