\u2018Where are all the women?\u2019 asks the London Transport Museum<\/a>. Yeah, where are all the bloody women? Everywhere. They always have been. Doing cool shit. But the powers that be either weren\u2019t interested or didn\u2019t think others would be, so kept it quiet. Probably felt threatened. Bless.<\/p>\n

2018 has been a big year for women. Not only women today but women in history with previously unsung heroes of medicine, literature, and other prestigious industries finally getting the limelight they were so forcibly denied in their lifetimes. 2018 saw the first woman grace the plinths of Parliament square as Millicent Fawcett took prime position among the likes of Winston Churchill and Mahatma Gandhi. Apparently even women immortalised in bronze are a threat.<\/p>\n

Lack of representation has all but wiped most women from history,leaving modern society dangerously ignorant to the achievements of women equally impressive as their famous male counterparts.<\/p>\n

The London Transport Museum is trying to combat this under representation and is currently asking people to contact them with stories or any women they know who worked in the transport industry in London or the UK from 1800 to the present day. \u2018Where Are All The Women\u2019 aims to highlight the lives of these women who carried out important and skilled jobs in a heavily male dominated work forces.<\/p>\n

Your train conductors and bus drivers may not seem as exciting as your scientists and pilots, but if we are to eventually achieve equality, we need to rewrite all aspects of history to truly reflect the contribution women made.<\/p>\n

Among the women to be featured in the exhibit is Elizabeth Ann Holman, a railway laborer in Cornwall for Great Western Railway. In the mid-19th<\/sup> century marital rape didn\u2019t exist in the eyes of the law and equal pay was a bad joke, despite factory workers preferring female workers since they could be \u201cmore easily induced to undergo severe bodily fatigue than men\u201d, according to Victorian Women<\/em><\/a> by Joan Perkin. Elizabeth risked the punishment of \u2018transportation\u2019 for choosing to wear \u2018men\u2019s\u2019 clothes from the age of 13 and having short hair.<\/p>\n

Joy Jarvis was a London textile designer during the 1940s responsible for the eye conic \u2018Roundel\u2019 and \u2018Bullseye\u2019 moquette for London Transport. Frustratingly but not unsurprisingly, until recently the credit for these designs was attributed to another male designer.<\/p>\n
