WW2 - A Cornish Story (Part 5)

In this episode, the Digital Interns at Bodmin Keep and the Museum of Cornish Life are speaking on the role of women during the Second World War. They offer two diverse perspectives on the topic:

Charlotte tells the story of Beatrice Frederika Rathbone, an esteemed American-born British politician and former Conservative Member of Parliament for Bodmin during 1941-1945, while Joseph shares his research on role of the Women's Land Army in keeping Cornwall, and the United Kingdom, fed during the conflict.

This podcast series is brought to you in partnership with Bodmin Keep as part of a national project developed by the Imperial War Museum (IWM).
