Description: | This photograph shows a woman ticket collector at the newly opened Maida Vale station. When it opened in June 1915, the station was staffed entirely by women.
The Underground group was the first company to employ women. From March 1915, it had a temporary policy of 'women substitutes'.
The public encountered women working on the trains or the buses on a daily basis. These women were the most visible example of how women had entered the workplace. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | London at War Work | Temporal: | 1915-1918 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
