What Did You Do in the War, Mummy?

"In this unique and eye-opening collection of interviews, women from different walks of life - some famous, some unknowntalk with frankness and humour to Mavis Nicholson about how they lived and worked, loved and managed during the war years. They include a barrage balloon operator, a munitions worker, a Windmill girl, a signals operator, landgirls, ambulance drivers, nurses, Waafs, Wrens, an air-raid warden, a favourite singer and a secret agent." "Their stories uncover, for almost the first time, the vivid and intimate details of women's lives between 1939 and 1945, the make-do and mend, the new freedoms, the courage, the hopes and the terrors, but also the euphoria and disappointments which followed, and the post-war adjustments that had to be made when their men returned."--BOOK JACKET.
