Land Girls: How thousands of women saved farming during WW2

Об эпизоде

<p>In this week’s podcast, Farmers Guardian’s head of news and business, Alex Black, speaks to FG’s features editor, Emily Ashworth, about her brand-new book all about the Women’s Land Army. These women - over 200,000 from 1939 to 1950 - took the place of men away at war and worked the land in Britain’s countryside to ensure food production did not cease. They were not, however, recognised, and in this new book, through a collection of Land Girl memoirs, Emily hopes to sine a whole new light on a force of women who deserve to go down in farming history. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2206410/fan_mail/new">Message us</a></p>
