EDITORS COMMENTS
"Miss Jessica Borthwick, also known as Nell Foy (1888-1946), is depicted in this photograph as she oversees the production of dolls at her factory in Chelsea during World War I. A pioneering figure, Borthwick served as an ambulance worker on the Western front, where she was wounded by a shell and made an honorary corporal by the Belgians. Her courage and resilience did not stop there. When the Germans occupied Ostend, she helped refugees escape by boat, ferrying them in her steam yacht, the Grace Darling. As the war progressed, Borthwick shifted her focus to the home front. In Britain, she established a doll-making factory, which was run entirely by women. This innovative enterprise not only provided employment opportunities for women but also freed men for war service and captured much of the trade annexed by Germany. The doll factory became a significant contributor to the war effort, producing toys for children and generating much-needed revenue. Borthwick's remarkable story highlights the multifaceted roles women played during the First World War. As a sculptor, camera woman, nurse, and entrepreneur, she defied the traditional expectations of women's roles during this period. Her legacy continues to inspire us, reminding us of the strength, resilience, and ingenuity of women in the face of adversity."
