Unsung Heroines - The Women who Won the War

Sidgwick & Jackson, 1990

Women of all ages, abilities and social backgrounds played a vital role in the winning of the Second World War. In this book Dame Vera Lynn amasses the experiences and memories of WRENS, WRACS, ATS officers, ambulance drivers, nurses, land-girls, radio operators and code-breakers, spies and resistance workers, from the mundane to the dramatic and sometimes painful. She also recollects the courage and stoicism of those who just got on with family life. It is expected that this book will have the same appeal as Dame Vera's 1989 publication, We'll Meet Again...
