Specifications
The Second World War was the finest hour of the WI. All of its previous history - two decades of education, entertainment, and support for women and campaigns for women's issues - culminated in the great collective responsibility felt by the members to 'do their duty' for Britain. With all the energy, vigor, and enthusiasm at their disposal, three hundred thousand rural women set out to make their lives and the lives of those around them more bearable in what they described as 'a time of madness.' The book Jambusters tells the story of the details of daily life during the Second World War. Making jam, surviving and repairing, foraging for rosehips, keeping pigs and rabbits, hosting evacuees, creating meals for the troops, knitting, singing, and campaigning for a better Britain after the war: all these activities played a crucial role during the war.
