Courage and Grit: The Legacy of Canada's Bomb Girls
Not yet published
Expected 17 Nov 26Explore the lives of intrepid Canadians who served on the home front during the Second World War.
On September 10, 1939, Canada declared war on Nazi Germany. From that moment, hundreds of thousands of war workers ― predominantly women ― forged a new culture within the nation’s labour, home, and political environs.
Courage and Grit features dozens of amazing stories about these women ― from farmers’ daughters to lawyers, impoverished immigrants to Rosedale elites, and high school students to great-grandmothers. Each narrative is unique, intimately personal, and painstakingly examined.
These never-before-told stories of faith, love, and sacrifice offer a culturally rich history of the women who served at home during the Second World War.
