EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in British history as David Lloyd George, a prominent statesman during World War I, addresses a crowd of women on the embankment in London in 1915. The women, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered in support of the war effort, having witnessed the passing of the historic Derby Scheme bill, which allowed women to work in munitions factories. Lloyd George, recognizing their dedication and sacrifice, expressed his admiration for their commitment to the war effort, stating, "We have witnessed a very fine procession of women who are anxious to help their country in the hour of emergency. There are thousands and hundreds of thousands of them who have got sons and brothers and husbands and fathers and those whom they love, at the front and they want to do their best at home to help these men facing deadly peril." At the time, the suffrage movement was gaining momentum, and Emmeline Pankhurst, a leading figure in the women's rights campaign, stood among the crowd, listening intently to Lloyd George's words. The image of these two influential figures, united in their support for the war effort and the role of women in it, symbolizes the shifting social and political landscape of the time. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during the First World War and the significant impact of women's contributions to the home front."
