Description

A facsimile edition of the manual used by the Land Girls during World War II. Published in 1941, this practical guide was created for city-dwellers recruited into the Women's Land Army to work on farms in rural England. The Women's Land Army was formed in June 1939 to replace agricultural workers fighting in the war. Over 100,000 women joined, playing a crucial role in feeding the nation during its darkest hour. This manual provides insight into their experiences and offers a unique glimpse into life as a Land Girl. With hundreds of thousands of copies printed, this edition remains an important historical document, offering a fascinating perspective on a pivotal moment in British history.
