Review:
You finish this book full of admiration for the way in which, long before anyone coined the word "sisterhood", British women were able to set aside differences of class, region and religion to pull together for the greater good. The Mail on Sunday Their "heroic" work, suggest the authors in this fascinating study ... [was] an advertisement for what voluntary action, backed by government, could do. -- Michael Kerrigan The Scotsman A good read. Get ready to be inspired by courageous tales from the women who helped us to victory in WWII. Yours magazine
