Against All Odds – HALF PRICE (inc UK P&P)
Against All Odds covers a wide range of themes throughout the 20th century. Several are concerned with the First World War including munitions workers, the so called canary girls who often suffered for their patriotism by working with dangerous chemicals. The place of Suffragettes and the pioneering women of the unions, who paved the way to equality for women, are also investigated.
The derogatory term Dilutee was coined in the First World War to describe women who took over engineering jobs in factories. This continued in the Second World War when they were directed to jobs in factories around the country. Those who stayed at home or workedin regular jobs unconnected with the war are not forgotten.
In the post war period, two women MPs with Coventry connections are featured. Those with less illustrious careers, although equally important, worked in the field of social work, the library and caring for others.
