A pictorial record of the changing role of women at work through 100 years. Suffragettes began the century campaigning for the right to vote, but before its end a woman held the highest political office in Britain. Here the story of the transformation of womens working lives is shown in pictures, sometimes revealing strange anomalies: for example; the prominence of women in pre-war motor racing contrasts sharply with their absence from the sport today. But inexorably, women emerged from the constraints of traditional society and this book provides a fascinating perspective on their journey to the modern day.
PA Photos is the photographic agency of the PA Group, the UKs national press agency best known as The Press Association. Established in the 19th Century, the PA has been capturing and archiving news photography for 140 years. Many of these pictures have not been seen since the time that they were first taken: to modern eyes the archives of PA Photos yield a unique insight into Britains recent past.
