a friend; a phrase of exquisite music. Jennifer Rees Larcombe
blends observation and skill in these delightful uplifting
reflections.
'God, I love these women! Their breeziness, compassion, humour and
resilience are a tonic' Libby Purves, Times Literary Supplement In
February 1919, London's first women police officers took to the
streets of the city. They battled entrenched gender stereotypes,
institutional inequality, sexual harassment and assaults
disturbingly familiar to those affecting today's #MeToo generation
of modern women. Female officers, facing resentment from male
colleagues, were expected to do little more than 'Make the tea, luv
. . .' and were charged with the sole task of looking after women
and children who fell into police hands. Yet, in the course of a
century, policewomen have won the equality they demanded, overcome
sexism and prejudice, rejected harassment and sexual assaults and
smashed through the glass ceiling to lead, rather than follow,
their male colleagues. One hundred years on from those first Women
Police Constables, a woman, Cressida Dick, holds the most powerful
position in British policing, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
Voices from the Blue tells the story of the hundred years of
service of female police officers within the Metropolitan Police
through the voices of the women who fought their way towards
equality and won the respect of both their colleagues and the
public. The authors have interviewed hundreds of former and serving
policewomen and with the co-operation of the Metropolitan Police
and the Women's Police Association now have access to the files and
stories of thousands of former officers who served over the past
hundred years. Those police archives, together with material held
by the National Archives and private libraries, provide a detailed
and fascinating oral history of the challenges women police
officers faced down the years.

Jennifer Rees Larcombe is well known for the calm grace she brings
to even the hardest things, and her books celebrate God's goodness
and care in the midst of tough times, as well as when all goes
well. In this book she helps us to see how God is with us in good
times and bad, drawing on many of the insights her own experiences

festivals throughout the year, she has put together daily devotions
to inspire grace and faith. This is a beautiful book, helping us to
explore our faith with new eyes and a strengthened sense of God's
love and care.
