Wartime Women: A Mass Observation Anthology (WOMEN IN HISTORY)

The printing is so very small, that I am unable to read this book. Quite unhappy about this because I am interested about how so many brave women worked very hard during the war.I wish it would be stipulated in the description "printing is small"I am going to try to send it back to Amazon

I am enjoying this book very much.Having read Simon Garfield's Mass Observation anthologies I appreciate the way the diaries and responses to questionnaires are explored more fully and illustrate how seriously and much valued were the writings submitted. My criticism would be of my particular edition in which the font size is so small I almost abandoned the book before I got going. The fact that I have enjoyed it so much, in spite of this, is testament to its compelling content.

I have read a few of these books. They are taken from the diaries of a cross section of members of the public, before and during the Second World War. I find the writings fascinating.. They give an accurate account of the just what it was like, day to day living with the threat of war, and how they coped during the war. Read these book, it will surprise you.

fascinating and couldn't put it down. Great seller

Factual accounts of women who documented life during the Second World War, interesting and informative with a unique insight into the past

Excellent and quick effective delivery. Thank you

AS I HAVE READ OTHER BOOKS ON THIS SUBJECT I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WITH AN INTEREST IN WHAT ORDINARY PEOPLE'S LIVES WERE LIKE IN WORLD WAR 2.

I love all the Mass Observation diaries and this one is no exception. If you're interested in social history then this is a great read.
