Changing Role of Women in the UK
The Girls reckon they can do anything without us men now-a-days - But can they? Interesting postcard highlighting the changing role of Women in the UK workplace in the early years of the twentieth century, with a slightly anti-Suffrage and tongue-in-cheek approach. Although women can now be a Clippy (bus conductoress), Policewomen or Window Cleaner, they are still required to play a role in the production (and bringing-up) of offspring! So, not everything is possible without us men... Date: circa 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing postcard, dated circa 1907, offers a humorous yet thought-provoking commentary on the changing role of women in the UK workforce during the early years of the twentieth century. The image depicts a scene of women in various non-traditional workplaces, including a bus as a Clippy (bus conductress), a police station as Policewomen, and even a window cleaning business with a ladder and bucket. The caption, with a slightly anti-Suffrage tone, reads "The Girls reckon they can do anything without us men now-a-days - But can they?" Although women had begun to make strides in the workforce, they were still required to balance their employment with the demands of child-rearing. The image suggests that while women could now hold positions as bus conductors, policewomen, and window cleaners, they were not entirely free from the responsibilities of motherhood. The use of the term "Girls" and the questioning tone of the caption adds a playful yet neutral commentary on the suffrage movement and the role of women in society. The postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural shifts of the time, as women began to challenge traditional gender roles and expectations. Despite the tongue-in-cheek approach, the image highlights the progress that had been made in women's employment opportunities, while also acknowledging the ongoing challenges and responsibilities that came with these new roles. Overall, this postcard is a captivating piece of history that invites us to reflect on the complex and evolving relationship between gender, work, and society in the early 20th century.
