The war may have ended but for many the fight went on, especially those women from every walk of life who fought to be recognised, rightly, as equals to their male colleagues who were doing the same job as them. The code breakers, the factory girls, the women working the land, the teachers and the everyday; a war was not just won in the fields, seas and air over Britain, Europe and the whole world, it was engaged and wrestled with in the homes, in the minds and experiences of those who stood up to the evil of Fascism and who wanted at all cost, for the country to survive.
