Cultivating victory : the Women's Land Army and the Victory Garden movement
Cecilia Gowdy-Wygant (Author)
A study of the sea change brought about in politics, society, and gender roles during World Wars I and II by campaigns to recruit Women's Land Armies in Great Britain and the United States to cultivate victory gardens. The author compares and contrasts the outcomes of war in both nations as seen through women's ties to labor, agriculture, the home, and the environment. The book sheds light on the cultural legacies left by the Women's Land Armies and their major role in shaping national and personal identities. -- Provided by publisher
