Remembering WW1: Fighting On The Home Front

In l914 the world changed forever. When World War One broke out and a generation of men went off to fight, bestselling author and award-winning former BBC chief news correspondent Kate Adie shows how women emerged from the shadows of their domestic lives.

Now a visible force in public life, they began to take up essential roles - from transport to policing, munitions to sport, entertainment, even politics. They had finally become citizens, a recognised part of the war machine, acquiring their own rights and often an independent income.

Kate Adie hails the women who challenged discrimination and charts the seismic move towards equal rights with men that began a century ago and asks what these women achieved for future generations.
