"'Wartime is Your Time' is a study of the experiences of women during the First World War. It shows that this period makes the point that whereas women comprise half of all mankind, they are barely mentioned in the history books. That the fighting was entirely done by men, while the the Home Front was run very efficiently by women. The author has used three main research tools: historical archives, perusal of contemporary women's magazines, and a number of interviews with women survivors. They worked in munition factories, drove buses and trains, and were determined never to go back to their prewar conditions. The text is well written and readable. This reviewer enjoyed every page, and would recommend it to any reader who likes to learn history the easy way, the author having done all the research. The illustrations, culled fron an emormous archive, are most evocative".
