EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Lady Alexandra Colebrooke, a prominent British suffragette and socialite, in her working attire during her service at a munitions plant in Great Britain during World War I. Dated circa 1916, this image offers a rare glimpse into the extraordinary role women played in the war effort and the suffrage movement. Lady Colebrooke, a member of the influential and affluent Ashley Cooper-Keyes family, was an active suffragette and a dedicated advocate for women's rights. Her involvement in the suffrage movement led her to join the war effort by working at a munitions plant, contributing to the production of essential war supplies. The photograph shows Lady Colebrooke in a practical and utilitarian outfit, donned with a protective apron, safety goggles, and a cap. Her determined expression and focused gaze convey her commitment to the cause, both in the fight for women's suffrage and in supporting the war effort. This image is a poignant reminder of the intersection of the suffrage movement and the war effort during this pivotal period in history. It highlights the resilience and adaptability of women, who took on new roles and responsibilities in the face of adversity and societal expectations. The photograph also underscores the significance of the suffrage movement and the sacrifices made by women, such as Lady Colebrooke, in the pursuit of their rights and the greater good. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on women's history, the suffrage movement, or World War I. Its historical significance and intriguing subject matter make it a captivating and thought-provoking piece for scholars, historians, and enthusiasts alike.
