• Wartime Women: A Mass Observation Anthology: A Mass-observation Anthology of Women's Writings, 1937-1945 (Women In History)

  
  How did the Second World War affect the lives of most women? Did their experiences help to liberate them? Was it the opportunity that so many expected or was it simply six years of deprivation, hard work and pain? Wartime Women allows us to explore these questions through the writings of women living through the war years. Dorothy Sheridan has chosen extracts from the whole range of Mass-Observation material including research reports, letters, diaries and detailed questionnaires. The range of contributors is enormous - from a fish-and-chip shop worker in Birmingham to Irish-immigrant munitions factory workers, young women welders in Yorkshire and a seventeen-year-old schoolgirl in Essex. This is a unique document offering unrivalled insight into women's minds and lives during the Second World War.
