\u2018Pioneers to Professionals: Women and the Royal Navy\u2019 covers women’s involvement in the services from the seventeenth century onwards, during both world wars, the Cold War, integration and beyond, running right through to today\u2019s serving personnel.<\/p>\n

Women working in an official capacity for the Royal Navy were disguised as men prior to the establishment of the first female uniformed service \u2013 the Naval Nursing Service in 1884, later renamed the Queen Alexandra\u2019s Naval Nursing Service in 1903.<\/p>\n

The WRNS formed in 1917. A uniformed women\u2019s involvement in the Royal Navy directly confronted gender equality issues, which still profoundly affect us today. As such, this exhibition highlights women\u2019s involvement and impact from WW1 right through to the continued efforts of female personnel today.<\/p>\n

The objects in this exhibition illustrate the role of women in the Navy in the widest spectrum, ranging from a rare First World War Ratings uniform (only 5,500 women served during the 20 months the service operated in WW1) to an oboe owned by a member of the Royal Marine Band Service. Key issues for women in the Navy are also addressed, with objects such as a Naval Officer\u2019s maternity dress indicating the key differences and concerns that women face whilst in service.<\/p>\n
