Beskrivelse

Women in the military? To many, never was too soon. But by 1940, British women were out "e;doing their bit"e; for the war effort, and Canadians battled for that same right. Young Canadian women wanted to serve their country, "e;to free a man to fight,"e; as the recruiting posters urged. By the war's end almost 50,000 of them were in the forces.Carolyn Gossage has compiled a fascinating collage of anecdotal and documentary material. The colourful story of Canada's "e;forgotten women"e; - those who volunteered for service during World War II in the RCAF Women's division, the Canadian Women's Army Corps (CWAC) and the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (Wrens) - entertains and enlightens.
