Course content:
Life for women during Wartime and how they coped during the later 1940’s after war ended.

We look at women at war – their occupations in the armed services, as pilots, nurses, typists, working in the Land Army, in factories, in the WRVS and other voluntary organisations, as well as being housewives and mothers.

Some women worked as spies or at Bletchley Park tapping out codes on the Enigma machine. At home during war and after, women had to cope with rationing and learning to ‘make do and mend’ while attempting to remain glamorous keeping up with fashion and cosmetics.

A heartening, happy afternoon.
