EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of World War II, the daily routines of life on the Home Front continued unabated. In this evocative illustration from circa 1941, a determined woman balances a ladder on her shoulder and carries a bucket in her hand, ready to tackle the windows of a suburban home. The children's book she clutches under her arm serves as a testament to the multitasking abilities of women during this period. As men went off to fight, women took on new roles in various industries, including window cleaning. With their resourcefulness and resilience, they adapted to the challenges of wartime life, proving that the show must go on. This illustration, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the spirit of the Home Front, where women like this window cleaner played a vital role in keeping the home front functioning during the 2nd World War.
