Description

Lucy Lewis's memoir, Lighting the Fuse, is a gripping account of her journey to becoming the UK's first female bomb disposal expert. With a background that was far from explosive, Lewis recounts her path to joining the military and overcoming the sexism that threatened to hold her back. This is a story of determination and perseverance, as Lewis breaks through the ceiling and achieves something that no woman had ever done before. Lewis's story is a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, as she navigates the high-stakes world of bomb disposal training. From the moment she joins the military, Lewis's every move is scrutinised, but she refuses to be defined by the limitations placed upon her. Instead, she forges her own path and makes history in the process. This is a deeply personal and inspiring memoir that offers a unique insight into the world of bomb disposal training and the challenges faced by women in the military.
