We have several items to share with you for International Women's Day. These can be found on our website under News. With the upcoming VE day commemorations in mind, we have chosen to focus on women's experiences of the Second World War. You can read Women at War, an extended article by Ann Simcock, about the role of women in World War 2, with examples from North Staffordshire. Another article, by Pat Adamson, considers Women and Rationing in the Second World War. You can listen to an account of Ivy Smith's World War 2 experiences, living in a south London suburb. You can read about A Child's Wartime Memories of Compton Dundon, Somerset, or discover what Phyllis Finch would have endured, as a Methodist Missionary in Hong Kong in World War 2. We hope that you enjoy these contributions and would like to encourage you to tell the stories of the wartime experiences of the women in your own family.
