As the troops marched into France and Belgium to be slaughtered and maimed in their tens of thousands, the women of Britain heeded the nation's call.
In increasing numbers they volunteered to run the trains and trams, the nurse the wounded, to maintain law and order, to turn the wheels of heavy industry and to keep the country fed.
Arthur Marwick, Professor of History at the Open University, has drawn on previously unused documents, individual reminiscences and contemporary photographs to produce a unique account of four years that profoundly and permanently changed social and moral attitudes, as much as individual opportunities.
Women at War graphically documents a key chapter in women's struggle for personal identity and equality.
