Many of the "advances" made by the women of the late 1980s and 1990s were nothing new to the women of the war years.  This book takes a broad look at the range of ways in which women served their country during World War II. Some made jam with the WI - 5,300 tons of it! Some flew fighter and bomber planes; some felled trees and sawed pit-props for the mines and some knitted for the troops.  Women even ventured to Occupied Europe, fell into the hands of the Gestapo and ended up in concentration camps.  Every woman did what lay within her power.
