At Summerlee Museum we love teaching the young people of today about North Lanarkshire’s social history. As we’ve proved through our #WomensHistoryMonth posts, women played a significant role in shaping our society and continue to do so today! #TheFutureIsFemale

This is a group portrait of male and female pithead workers at colliery near Airdrie.

Whilst women had been banned from working underground since 1842, it was common for unmarried women in mining communities to work above ground in pithead tasks such as the sorting of coal. Wartime recruitment and labour shortages likely meant there was a higher number of women working at this colliery than before.

During the Second World War, women took on a lot of roles that were previously reserved for men including roles in Civil Defence. These women served as Air Raid Precaution Wardens. #ThisGirlCan #WomensHistoryMonth

This week for #WomensHistoryMonth, we’ll be showing that #ThisGirlCan! We’ll be sharing photos and items that show women who were pioneers for taking on new roles and challenges.

These women are machining parts for boiler feed pumps for steam engines. Weirs specialised in making pumping equipment including for the Royal Navy.

During the First World War women took over many jobs normally done by men and which at the time were often considered inappropriate for women to do. The war showed that women could do men's jobs just as well.

However, the change was short-lived because when the war ended and the men returned from the front the women lost their war jobs.
