But it's a much older and more complicated history . . . British agricultural policy during the First World War was held up as a success story; domestic food production was higher at the end of the war than at the start, the average calorific value of the British diet barely changed, and bread never had to be rationed. As the press reported starvation and food riots overseas, the 1918 harvest was held up as "one of the great achievements of the War." In 1917, at the darkest hour, when Britain's food security looked most precarious, it was said that, "if it were not for the women agriculture would be absolutely at a standstill on many farms." Using previously unpublished accounts and photographs, this book is an attempt to understand how the return of women to the fields and farmyards impacted agriculture-and, in turn, an examination of how that experience affected them.
