Following an inspiring collaboration with Queenbee Press, over the past year more than 60 members of the WI have joined together in small groups to follow a bespoke writing course which has led to this moving, historically relevant collection of personal memoirs. From Growing Up to Breaking Away, Passions and Aspirations to Independent Choices, Inspiring People to the Home Hearth, these compelling stories take us through 80 years of women’s lives and make for remarkable and moving reading.
