Women and War

A vivid history of ordinary women and their extraordinary deed through two world wars and beyond.

The twentieth century was a time of tumultuous change for women - both in conflict and on the home front.

In this enthralling account, Katie Adie celebrates the remarkable and often unacknowledged heroism of women in roles - from nursing to land girl to fighter pilot - that have been so essential to military and civilian life. She reveals the way the press and society throughout the twentieth century and up to the present day have viewed uniformed women, and for the first time illuminates the experiences and attitudes of women themselves.
