(Paperback)

Drawing on interviews with women who served as "land girls" during World War II, this book relates a chapter in New Zealand's war experience. It shows that like their Rosie the Riveter sisters, these Women's Land Service recruits gained independence, little recognition, and discontent about giving up their farm jobs when the soldiers came home.
