SUMMARY:Exhibition: Women’s Land Army
DESCRIPTION:War affected every section of society, not just the military. More food needed to be produced and, as men were recruited into the armed services, there were fewer hands to do the work. At the same time, farmers were being pressed to convert more land to arable from pasture. Women had always been involved in agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but now their contribution was critical…\nThis exhibition will explore the practicalities of how the Land Army was organised, the key figures involved and some of the challenges that were encountered along the way. Despite the misgivings, and sometimes the hostility, of politicians, civil servants, landowners, farmers, trade unions and foresters, who doubted that women would be able to undertake the range of farm work, and very often failed to give WLA leaders and volunteers the credit and recognition they, the women of ‘the Cinderella service’, deserved.\nWith thanks to Dr John Godfrey for his writing and research for this exhibition.\nThe exhibition has been generously sponsored by Oakland Grange and Oakland Court Care Homes and other donors.\nImage: For a Healthy, Happy Job Join the Women’s Land Army: UK Government, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons\n \nEntry to the exhibition is included in your Museum entry ticket.\nThere will be times when it is not open which will be listed here:\n\nEach Wednesday morning\n\n \n \n
