... Fighting on the Home Front : the legacy of women in World ...In 1914 the world changed forever. When World War One broke out and a generation of men went off to fight, bestselling author Kate Adie shows how women emerged from the shadows of their domestic lives.

They had finally become citizens, a recognised part of the war machine, acquiring their own rights and often an independent income.
