Fashion: Women in World War One

World War I had a catastrophic impact on the lives of millions, both on the battlefield and on the homefront . It was also a time of tremendous social upheaval, bringing new opportunities and freedoms. Whatever their wartime role--as nurses, naval officers, or factory workers--women needed the right clothes for the job. From the silks of High Society, to the boots and breeches of the Women's Land Army, this booklet explores the impact of war on fashion from 1914-1918.
