Using a very wide range of detailed sources, the book surveys the
many different experiences of women during the Second World War.
Many existing studies on the role of women in the Second World War
concentrate on women's increasing participation in the workplace
and on their struggles to cope with rationing and shortages. This
book goes further, exploring women's wartime experiences much more
fully. Drawing on a wide range of sources including oral
interviews, scrapbooks, personal letters, diaries, newspaper
articles, Mass Observation files and memoirs, the book illustrates
some of the similarities and differences of women's wartime
experiences in different situations in different countries.
Specific subjects covered include experiences of exile and living
under occupation, of coping with proximity to fighting and to the
frontline, and of dealing with everyday life in trying
circumstances. The book draws out how factors such as political
beliefs, nationalism, economics, religion, ability, geography and
culture all had an impact. Overall, the book reveals a great deal
about the complexities and nuances of women's experiences in this
period of enormous upheaval. Contributors: Patricia Chappine, Nupur
Chaudhuri, Sylvie Crinquand, Beth Hessel, Sarah Hogenbirk, Regina
Lark, Bernice Lindner, Alexis Peri, Kelly Spring, Michael Timonin,
Angela Wanhalla, Wai-Yin Christina Wong.
