Samenvatting
‘An important contribution to our recent history’ ANDREW MARR
‘Absorbing and important’ JOAN BAKEWELL
‘One of my favourite reads of 2021’ GARETH RUSSELL
Poignant and inspiring, Women in the War tells the first-hand stories of ten of the last surviving female members of Britain's 'Greatest Generation'.
Whether flying Spitfires to the frontline, aiding code breaking at Bletchley Park, plotting the Battle of the Atlantic or working with Churchill in the Cabinet War Rooms, each of these women made a crucial contribution to the conflict overseas and helped to buttress the home front.
Here they recount their remarkable experiences during the Second World War, recalling how their formative years were shaped by danger and trauma, and how friendship and romance fortified their spirits.
Drawing on the insight that comes with age, they contemplate how the conflict helped women prove their worth, transforming society and sparking the later battles for equal rights.
With a reporter’s eye for detail, Lucy Fisher artfully weaves together moving contemporary interviews with gripping wartime diaries and letters. This is a vivid oral history that will stay with you long after you've put it down.
In Women in the War, Lucy Fisher presents a compelling autobiography of ten women who made significant contributions to the military and social fabric of Europe during the 20th century. This historical account, which has been hailed as one of the best of its kind, offers a unique perspective on feminism and the role of women in shaping the world as we know it today.
For fans of Tessa Dunlop (Elizabeth and Philip), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), Helen Fry (From Dachau to D-Day), Patricia E. Malcolmson (Nella Last's War), and Andrew Lownie (Traitor King).
