Women's Amateur Theatre in Rural Britain, 1919-1945
"Women's Amateur Theatre in Rural Britain is the first book-length study of the National Federation of Women's Institutes' amateur drama groups, which served as an umbrella organisation for women's amateur drama.

The Women's Land Army in First World War Britain
Between 1917 and 1919 women enlisted in the Women's Land Army, a national organisation with the task of increasing domestic food production.

The Society for the Oversea Settlement of British Women, 1919-1964
This book examines the British government’s response to the ‘superfluous women problem', and concerns about post-war unemployment more generally, by creating a migration society that was tasked with reducing the number of single women at home through overseas migration.

To do so, the SOSBW worked with various domestic and dominion groups to find the most suitable women for migration, while also meeting the dominions’ demands for specific types of workers, particularly women for work in domestic service. While the Society initially aimed to meet its original mandate, it gradually developed its own vision of empire settlement and refocused its efforts on aiding the migration of educated and trained women who were looking for new, modern, and professional work opportunities abroad.
