註釋
The role of the Women's Royal Naval Service has changed dramatically since its first formation in 1917. Initially recruited to provide support for Naval Officers, the women of the WRNS soon took on work that had previously been considered beyond their capabilities. WRNS in Camera provides a fascinating insight into the evolving nature of the WRNS, how it undertook a variety of roles and responsibilities that cemented the vital role these women played in the Royal Navy, and set the stage of opportunity for future generations. It further shows how their work affected their personal sense of identity and self-esteem and how, having assumed a certain level of authority during their war service, many found it difficult to adjust to civilian life after demobilization. Hardcover - 10-1/4" x 7-3/4" - 192 pages - 150 b/w
