Description
Enid Barraud's memoir, Set My Hand Upon the Plough, offers a remarkable account of her life during wartime England. In 1939, she left her city life behind and joined the Land Army, one of thousands of women working the land while war raged on. Her experiences on the farm reveal her relationship with fellow workers and her own personal struggles. Barraud's writing is marked by candour and honesty, shedding light on a period often overlooked in history. The book also explores her sexuality, providing new insights into the lives of those who fought or worked on the home front during World War II. First published in 1946, Set My Hand Upon the Plough joins the ranks of LGBT memoirs, offering a unique perspective on the experiences of women and men working together during wartime.
