Talk by Kate Adie on Women & the First World War

When the First World War broke out, and a generation of men went off to fight, women emerged from the shadows of their domestic lives. Becoming a visible force in public life, they began to take up essential roles - from transport to munitions, policing to sport, entertainment and even politics. In this lecture former BBC Chief News Correspondent and bestselling author, Kate Adie, will chart the move towards equal rights with men that began a century ago and consider what these women achieved for future generations.
