Oh my goodness, I love these photos! They are fantastic!
As it's December, here are Land Army / Timber Corps women working in the snow in Lyndhurst, New Forest. Gladys Gattrell and Maisie Boyce pose for the camera. The lady driving the tractor is Winifred Geary. 1/2

I am so pleased to support the End Sexism In Schools charity @NoSchoolSexism to create systemic change in gender equality within schools. If you’d like to support them too and can help gather evidence for the curriculum review visit
Delighted to welcome @jofoat as a Historian Supporter for the End Sexism In Schools campaign. Jo stands with ESIS in calling for 50% of all topics, themes and units in the history curriculum in schools to focus on the roles of women in past societies and cultures.
