Women In Industry During The First World War, Lancashire, 1918, A woman pit brow worker grins cheerfully for the camera as she holds up two large chunks of coal. She is wearing a fringed scarf around her neck and shoulders, and her sacking apron is just visible. This photograph was probably taken at the Wigan Coal and Iron Co Ltd. The original caption reads: 'British women coal workers in Lancashire. That's the stuff to give 'em.', September 1918. (Photo by G P Lewis/ Imperial War Museums via Getty Images)
