Course content:
After war changes altered everyday living and perceptions,
especially how women viewed their role, although little was being done to change their status even though they had contributed sogreatly to the war effort and workforce.
Wives had been liberated during wartime when they had to work and look after home and family alone, but life returned to the usual role-play once their husbands returned.
Pioneers, such as Marie Stopes introduced birth control methods aimed at freeing women from the continual
cycle of child-bearing, while others, such as Amy Johnson, tookon exciting challenges, normally reserved for men. A revealing morning diversion.
