Men, Women and Children in the Second World War

An evidence-based look at the Second World War and how it touched the lives of different individuals in British society. This book invites children to explore the details of people’s lives during the war, examining how they lived, studied, fought, worked for the war effort, worshipped and played. It also contains short accounts of real people who lived during the period, such as Winston Churchill, land girl Pat Kemp and eleven-year-old evacuee Agnes Conway. While learning how the war affected every facet of daily life, readers will also learn about British society in the wartime era, including rich and poor, family structures and gender roles. A rich array of period photos, posters and ephemera allows children to interpret real sources to learn more about the war and its context.
