Omschrijving
Making the Best of It examines the ways in which gender and other identities intersected to shape the experiences of female Canadians and Newfoundlanders during the Second World War.
[T]his is a very useful study, one in which the authors make full use of British and American research, and the bibliography alone will make it invaluable.
This collection [of essays] importantly brings our attention to voices and perspectives that have excluded from World War II Canadian history and, in doing so, directs us to think further about areas that remain to be explored.
