EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a woman police officer takes the solemn oath in a magistrates court in London during the late 1960s. Dressed in the Norman Hartnell uniform, which was introduced for women police officers in 1968, she stands confidently in the witness box, her gaze steady and determined. The peaked cap sits squarely on her head, the uniform's distinctive collar and cuffs adding an air of authority. The scene is one of equality and progress, as women were only allowed to join the Metropolitan Police Force in 1915, and it was not until the 1960s that they began to be given the same uniform and opportunities as their male counterparts. The officer's serious expression and the magistrate's focused gaze add to the sense of importance and gravity of the moment. The woman officer wears a pair of glasses, her fingers resting on the Bible as she swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The magistrate, a man, looks intently at her, his spectacles perched on the bridge of his nose as he ponders the evidence before him. The papers and documents spread out on the table before them add to the sense of legal procedure and due process. This powerful image captures a moment in time when women's rights and employment opportunities were beginning to shift, and the police force was becoming more inclusive. It is a reminder of the progress that has been made, but also of the ongoing work that needs to be done to ensure true gender equality in all areas of society.
