EDITORS COMMENTS
They Have Chosen Farming As A Career: Capturing the Spirit of Female Farmers in the 1940s In this print from June 1949, we are transported back to a time when farming was not solely dominated by men. At the Surrey County Council Farm Institute at Merrist Wood, near Guildford, a group of determined young women have chosen to pursue their passion for farming and horticulture. Amidst the picturesque rural scenes on the expansive 430-acre farm, these trailblazing girls can be seen immersing themselves in various aspects of agricultural education. With an unwavering commitment to learning, they delve into milk production techniques, cattle management skills, veterinary science knowledge, as well as botany and zoology studies. Their curiosity even extends to beekeeping! Two standout students caught our attention - Mary Coleridge from Wimbledon and Judy Hitchcock from Tollworth. In this heartwarming moment frozen in time, they showcase their expertise while administering a tonic to Tulip II – an adorable calf who seems content under their care. This photograph serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of these pioneering young women who defied societal norms by choosing farming as their career path during an era when it was predominantly considered a male domain. As we admire this remarkable image captured by Mirrorpix's lens through Memory Lane Prints, let us celebrate these unsung heroines whose dedication paved the way for future generations of female farmers.
