The impact of the land girls cannot be ignored. It was not just that women were working and farms had more women then men, women who were not part of the family, some of them had even lived in the countryside before - but women were wearing trousers and filling in for men, some of whom would never return from war. For the women, their time as land girls changed their lives and how they viewed their own role in society and the family. Using original interviews and photographs from land girls, best-selling historian Ann Kramer delves deeper than any previous study to understand the role of the land girls both during and after the Second World War. SELLING POINTS: Original interviews and photographs. Discusses the role of the landgirls in the context of time. Directory of museums.
