about everyday women, young, middle aged, married or single all coming
to work in a man's world. The pride and courage they all

gratitude is very much owed’

While land girls, the WVS and the many women who worked in the factories are often applauded, the part women played in the country’s shipbuilding industry during the Second World War is too often forgotten.
Nancy is passionate about throwing a spotlight on these forgotten heroines – women who have never been commended for the hard, gruelling and dangerous work they did to help Britain win the war.
‘This is a book that
lets the reader know the way our ancestors behaved during the two world
wars. With strength, honour and downright bravery. We shall
never see the like again. I for one salute them all and give thanks to
the author Nancy Revell, for letting us as readers know mostly as it
was’
