      Focusing on women's vital roles in agriculture and forestry during the World Wars, the narrative explores the Women's Land Army's formation and impact. It highlights how women, often from non-farming backgrounds, stepped in to sustain food production as men went to war, with membership soaring from 23,000 in WWI to over 80,000 in WWII. The book honors figures like Lady Denman and includes personal accounts and illustrations, emphasizing how these women's contributions challenged traditional notions of gender roles in labor.
