 : Women WW1 Work Our Womanhood


Women WW1 Work Our Womanhood

A tribute to the women who have filled jobs previously undertaken by men who have gone off to fight. The verse celebrates the way that women have responded to the call. Womanhood of homely Britain, High and humble o'er the Land, we would hail your grit and courage As you by the Empire stand. While our manhood are a-fighting, And have had to leave our shore, you've resolved to fill their places While the cannons loudly roar. Illustrated with a photograph of a munition worker
