WWI, Female Telegraph Messenger, 1914-15


Entitled: "Woman telegraph messenger on a bicycle in Berlin, Germany during WWI." During WWI all female labor had to come from volunteers who were not well encouraged, leading to a smaller proportion of women entering employment. It has been suggested that one small factor contributing to Germany's loss in the war was their failure to maximize their potential workforce by ignoring women, although they did force women in occupied areas into manual labor. Photographed by Bain News Service, 1914-15.
