Abstract
- The article discusses the experiences of British farm women during World War Two. Topics include the conditions and supply of farmhouses and cottages, articles by farmer Irene Megginson in the periodical "Farmer's Weekly," and the lack of electricity and running water on many farms. Also addressed are the responsibilities facing rural women as a result of the absence of men during the war, the report "Town Children Through Country Eyes" by the organization Women's Institute (WI), which discussed war evacuees, and the work of women in the organization Women's Voluntary Service (WVS).
