I like the one where she is blowing onto her cuppa to cool it down. I find the cuppa cools so quickly in the breeze that it is often cold before I remember to drink it.
As patty says, the skirt seems a bit out of place - the everyday walking shoes seem a bit inappropriate too. Perhaps they employed models for some of those pictures, some of which were probably part of a government propaganda/publicity/recruiting campaign. ........ oh, and I've just noticed the nicely permed hair in some photos.

Terrific, thanks.
The book 'Idle Women' by Susan Woolfitt is a great read, and contains many of the photos, and tells the story of young women transported into a new, very different life, with the many problems they encountered and overcame.
Definitely heroes of the Home Front, like many in that period.
I'm pretty confident the photos are not stage managed, but genuine.

Just waiting for Stabby to say that he would have, had he been there...
I think I just spotted Michael Gove's mum.
