EDITORS COMMENTS
This diagram, dating back to 1919, illustrates the significant inflation in both temporary and female personnel in various Ministries located in Westminster and Whitehall, as a result of the First World War. The First World War brought about an unprecedented surge in administrative demands, leading to a rapid expansion of the bureaucratic workforce. The diagram reveals that women made up at least half of the temporary staff in the majority of departments. This marked a significant shift from the traditional male-dominated bureaucratic roles. The war not only opened doors for women in the workforce but also challenged the conventional norms of gender roles. The diagram serves as a testament to the crucial contribution of women in maintaining the machinery of the state during times of crisis. The growth in personnel is a reflection of the immense efforts required to support the war effort and keep the government functioning effectively. The influx of women into the bureaucratic workforce paved the way for future progress towards gender equality in the workplace.
