CORSETS TO CAMOUFLAGE WOMEN AND WAR
KATE ADIE
In this vivid history Kate Adie celebrates the remarkable and often unacknowledged heroism of women whose wide range of roles - form nursing to land girl to fighter pilot - has been essential to to military and civilian life through two World Wars and beyond. As the BBC's Chief News Correspondent she has been dressed in camouflage and often wrestled with the practical problems of being a woman in a world of war. She uses contemporary newspaper reports to reveal the way the press and society at large have viewed uniformed women, never-before-seen personal accounts and letters to illuminate the experiences and attitudes of women themselves.
