Singled Out by Virginia Nicholson
The First World War deprived Britain of three-quarters of a million soldiers. The press ran stories about the 'Problem of the Surplus Women - Two Million who can never become Wives ...'. Tracing their fates, this book shows how the single woman of the inter-war decades had to stop depending on men for her income, her identity and her happiness.Praise for Among the Bohemians:
