EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the First World War, Myrtle Newton of Cambridge made a remarkable contribution by taking on the role of a motor car driver at the prestigious Kings Head Hotel in Cirencester. With the understanding that her employment would free up a man for military service, Myrtle became an intriguing embodiment of the countless women who stepped into traditionally male jobs during this time. The Tatler magazine reported that Myrtle was not only an accomplished driver but also expertly handled the cleaning and repairs of the car herself with unparalleled competence and efficiency. As the war raged on at the front, women like Myrtle were making their mark on the home front, challenging societal norms and proving their worth in various industries. The image of Myrtle Newton, a woman in a hat and coat, standing confidently next to the car she skillfully operated, symbolizes the indomitable spirit and resilience of the women who took on new roles during the Great War. This photograph, taken in 1915, is a testament to the transformative power of adversity and the determination of individuals to adapt and contribute in times of need.
