Women in the Second World War explores the experiences of women who
served in the armed forces, or complimentary services. Using
interviews, anecdotes, memoirs and/or accounts from the women (or,
where appropriate, their children), the book tells the womens
personal accounts of what their lives were like and what particular
experiences they had while serving. They were all ordinary British
women, and tell here in their own words their experiences on active
service. Their accounts cover the whole spectrum, from famous
battles, such as Monte Cassino, to being shipwrecked by a tornado,
to simple acts of kindness, which in themselves seem nothing, but
at the same time meant something very specialto those young women,
and were fondly remembered, even sixty years afterwards. The huge
variety of services and experiences featured in the book reflect
how widely spread the womens contribution to the war effort was,
from tilling the soil below, to servicing the engines of aircraft
about to take off to the sky above, and everything in between.
