Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the pulse of London's West End continued to beat with unyielding resilience. In 1915, as men answered the call to the battlefields, women boldly stepped into the workforce to keep businesses afloat. This photograph, taken by the esteemed Illustrated London News Ltd, captures the image of a young woman proudly performing her duties as a lift attendant in a London business. The woman, dressed in a smart uniform, exudes a sense of determination and professionalism as she skillfully operates the lift, ensuring the smooth transportation of passengers between floors. Her expression conveys a quiet strength, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the women who took on new roles in various industries during this time. The caption accompanying this photograph poignantly encapsulates the spirit of the era: "Men must fight, and women must work." This powerful statement underscores the profound impact of the war on both the home front and the battlefront, as women assumed new responsibilities and proved their worth in the workforce. As the world watched the war unfold, the women of London's West End continued to defy expectations, demonstrating their ability to adapt, innovate, and contribute to the war effort in ways both large and small. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role women played during the First World War and the enduring legacy of their courage and determination.
