There is a profile of Jennie at http://scotsue-familyhistoryfun.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/52-ancesors-fesity-great-aunt-jennie.html which I hope conveys something of her character. No, the photographs were not dated and Nellie's dress is my favourite too.

The Women's Land Girl Army was was a civilian voluntary organization founded by the government to assist in food production, when the German navy was blockading imports into Britain and food stocks were running very low . The girls worked on farms undertaking many tasks formerly done by men. A similar army was set up during the Second World War, but volunteers were then supplemented by conscription.

You don't mention her personality but in that first portrait of her I can almost imagine her bursting into laughter as soon as the shutter clicked shut. Such a nice collection of photos.
