Female warden in a steel helmet reading over the latest regulations with another warden, holding a helmet, in the middle of a busy Westminster street. Female wardens made up an estimated 1/6 of the c.1.4 million who served, although the Sphere notes the warden's gender in the caption "the steel helmet becomes familiar feminine headwear". The Sphere describes those passing by as "quite undisturbed".
