EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during World War Two. The image portrays a female bus conductor issuing a ticket to a young girl, symbolizing the resilience and determination of women on the home front. As men were away fighting for their country, women stepped up to fill crucial roles in various industries, including transportation. Believed to be one of the first female bus conductors in Wales during this time period, the exact date remains unknown. However, Mirrorpix suggests that it was taken just before the outbreak of World War Two, around August 1st, 1939. The conductor's uniform exudes an air of professionalism and pride as she confidently carries out her duties. The photograph also offers glimpses into fashion trends of the era with its depiction of tartan patterns and satchels. Despite being amidst war and conflict, both the conductor and young girl appear happy and content on their journey. This picture serves as a powerful reminder of how women played an integral role on the home front during times of crisis. It is a testament to their strength and adaptability as they took on traditionally male-dominated professions with grace and determination.
