Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by
thousands of daily commuters(通勤者) and celebrated as a London
landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.

There are no written or photographic records of the women
who built the bridge since the construction company that built
it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’
s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat
captains who have called it the Ladies’ Bridge.

During the Second World War, with the majority of the active
male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on
traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25，000 women were working
in the construction industry, carrying out back?breaking tasks.
These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and
dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and
that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend
in women working in construction and engineering did not
continue after the war.

People all over the world enjoy sports. Sports are good ___1___people’s health. Many people like to watch others play games.

September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown
work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor
has created a 45?minute musical entitled “the Singing Bridge”，
which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late
September, the “Light up the Ladies’ Bridge” event sees the
National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic
projections(投影) of female construction workers working in
construction during World War Ⅱ.

Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the
cities in which we live.
