Future Is Female Tote Bag
Durable cotton canvas tote bag featuring IWM's exclusive "The Future is Female" design. The reinforced gusset ensures this bag is not just a memento, but a bag for life too.
During the Second World War, male-dominated industries found their workforces depleted, and by the end of 1941, Britain began conscripting women. They found themselves developing skills and earning their own wages, giving them newfound independence.
Gender inequality was still prevalent; women were not allowed to fight on the front line in Britain and still had to support household duties whilst in work. However, it was evident that this was the start of something more for women and their important position in society.
