Women in the military? To many, never was too soon. But by 1940,
British women were out "doing their bit" for the war effort, and
Canadians battled for that same right. Young Canadian women wanted
to serve their country, "to free a man to fight," as the recruiting
posters urged. By the war's end almost 50,000 of them were in the
forces.
Carolyn Gossage has compiled a fascinating collage of anecdotal
and documentary material. The colourful story of Canada's
"forgotten women" - those who volunteered for service during World
War II in the RCAF Women's division, the Canadian Women's Army
Corps (CWAC) and the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (Wrens) -
entertains and enlightens.
