Subdeacon Joe Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 September 12, 1910 Alice Stebbins Wells became the first U.S. policewoman when the Los Angeles Police swore her in, gave her a badge, assigned her a telephone call box, a rule book and first aid book. She later founded the International Policewomen’s Association and traveled throughout North America to promote female officers. Visit ThisWeekinCaliforniaHistory.com #california #womenshistory
Pat Riot Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 Why does the writing on the photo say “Police Woman (ideal - not actual)”? She sure looks like she means business in that photo.
Alpo Posted September 12, 2023 Posted September 12, 2023 My guess would be that that means that it's a model playing the part of the perfect police woman, and not a real police woman that they took a picture of.
