EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from WW2 captures a moment of secrecy and importance in the lives of young office girls. The illustration, taken from the children's book "The Girls Of Today," depicts a scene where a typist hushes her colleagues, emphasizing the need for discretion while working on a secret Government task during wartime.
In the midst of World War II, these unseen and unheard heroines play a crucial role behind-the-scenes, contributing to the war effort with their dedication and silence. The image conveys a sense of responsibility and maturity beyond their years as they keep vital information confidential to protect national security.
The message of "Careless Talk" is clear - loose lips sink ships. These girls understand the gravity of their work and demonstrate resilience in keeping it dark, despite any temptation to share secrets. Their commitment to duty shines through in this poignant depiction by Allan Burrows.
As we reflect on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the unsung heroes who played integral roles in shaping our world today. Let us honor these brave office girls who worked tirelessly during one of humanity's darkest hours, embodying strength and determination in times of uncertainty.
