SUMMARY:History Wardrobe Presents… Housewife at War
DESCRIPTION:\nDoing dishes and dodging doodlebugs… what was everyday life like for women of World War Two? In Housewife At War the Two Lucys journey back to the forties discover what their grandmothers were up to, from home-baking and tea-making, to war work in uniform. This fascinating new History Wardrobe presentation features fabulous fashions, from Utility clothes to the New Look. But behind the aprons and rank badges, and after VE Day celebrations, there are secrets to uncover and mysteries to solve…\n\nAbout History Wardrobe…\n\n\nLucy Adlington is writer and collector.
