David Seymour Posted 21 April , 2004 Share Posted 21 April , 2004 Please can anyone recommend books in print which deal with the issues of women's employment on the Home Front in Britain during the First World War. Many thanks. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Saunders Posted 21 April , 2004 Share Posted 21 April , 2004 Arthur Marwick's Women at War 1914 - 1918. Also try looking at University Press or bookshops that specialise in books for undergrads - changing female roles as a result of war was part of Modern History course syllabus.

David Seymour Posted 24 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 24 April , 2004 Signals/Desmond7, Thanks. I have the Marwick - good book. Searched the bookshops today - books on this subject not so much thin on the ground as extinct. Anyone else know any titles in this subject area?

David Seymour Posted 25 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 25 April , 2004 Thanks Sue, I see from the Blackwell's website that the Grayzel is in stock ready for immediate dispatch. So I can start on that - but any more titles from anyone will be gratefully received. Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_D Posted 26 April , 2004 Share Posted 26 April , 2004 Whilst not entirely dedicated to womens roles in the war,'The Home Front In The Great War', Aspects Of The Conflict 1914-1918,by David Bilton,published by Pen & Sword,has some appropriate sections. ISBN 1-84415-000-3 Kind regards, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gem22 Posted 27 April , 2004 Share Posted 27 April , 2004 David You might like to try 'On her Their Lives Depend' by Angela Woolacott. Deals particularly with ammunition workers but covers areas such as morals, welfare, and freedom. Check here for copies http://www.addall.com/ Garth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Seymour Posted 29 April , 2004 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2004 Garth, Many thanks for that one. Any more anyone, please? There doesn't seem to have been much published recently in this area, does there? Regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
