I thought I'd share some more photos of LGBT+ interest from the Cardiff University archive 'Women in Trousers.' (I previously shared a couple of Margiad Evans, aka Peggy Whistler, and her sister.)

Photo of a Hatten lady and friend from an archive of Hatten family photographs, c. 1910s. Submitted by Alan Fraser.

There is some more information on the above via Alan Fraser's website:

"These three photos from the collection of Gary DeBeaubien are unidentified.
The photo on the left shows two women, one of whom must be a Hatten relative. Thanks to Jayne Shrimpton of "Family Tree Magazine" for dating the photo to 1910-13 based on the clothing, which means they were both born around 1880. I have looked for all female Hattens of around this age in the 1911 census to find a possible match, but so far without success. This picture has also been sent to the London School of Economics Women's Library and Cardiff University "Women in Trousers" project for inclusion in their photo collections."
