Description
After the end of WWI, Jessie Kenney (1887-1985) decided to train as a Marine Radio Officer. She received her First Class Certificate of Proficiency in Radiotelegraphy on 9 April 1923, but was not allowed to put her skills to active work due to her gender. Instead she worked as a stewardess on around-the-world cruises during the 1920s and 1930s, including for the Furness and Orient Lines.
