Woman dressed up as Father Christmas. The illustration is a festive metaphor for the increase in women taking over men's roles during World War I while the male population was away fighting. Countless women turned their hands to traditionally male activitie such as munitions work, taxi driving, agriculture or bus conducting and in this case, the lady is playing Father Christmas.
