Description | The War Farmers by Ralph Cleaver |
Details |
Page of illustrations depicting the trials and tribulations of women working on the land in place of men during the First World War. The sketches are a little chauvinistic, showing women terrified of mice, ploughing in wavy lines and spending time writing letters to sweethearts rather than milking cows but the final picture confirms with grudging approval that despite all these alleged mishaps, they 'get there' all the same.
