Women in the War: The Last Heroines of Britain's Greatest Generation
This poignant and inspiring oral history tells the remarkable stories of ten of the last surviving female members of Britain's 'Greatest Generation'. From their experiences during World War II, these women recount how they made crucial contributions to the conflict overseas and helped shape society at home.
Lucy Fisher artfully weaves together moving contemporary interviews with gripping wartime diaries and letters, creating a vivid portrait of a pivotal moment in history. This is a powerful exploration of how the war helped women prove their worth and sparked later battles for equal rights.
