| Picture No | 10699371 |
| Date | 1917 |
| Description | Female taxi drivers, WW1 by Annie Fish |
| Details |
Humorous illustration by Annie Fish in The Tatler showing a tongue-in-cheek impression of women taxi drivers during the First World War, more concerned with adjusting make up than driving. The Taxi Driver's Union objected to women driving cabs on the basis that they were not strong enough to handle heavy luggage and were liable to panic in difficult situations. Eve, Tatler's gossip columnist, rather ridicules these objections.
