Women porters at Marylebone station, May 1915. Images like this were used to illustrate an article in the Suffragette entitled 'What Women are Doing to Release Men for The Front', which reminded readers that while women were doing 'sterling work' their efforts should not be taken for granted, nor should they be underpaid. The issue of women's war work and their low wages was a frequent theme in all suffrage and feminist literature of the war period.
