\"Guest<\/a>
Guest speaker Paul Strong with Stella Astbury, left, and Tracy Gardiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The title reflects one chapter in a book on Women in War, edited by our
\nspeaker Paul Strong, shown flanked by Stella Astbury, acting president,
\nand Tracy Gardiner, the colleague who introduced him.<\/p>\n

Paul is a military historian working locally, who gave a rousing review of
\nsome of the key female characters of the second world war.\u00a0 They ranged from
\nthe famous, like Elizabeth Windsor driving lorries in the ATS and Junior
\nCommander Mary Churchill on anti-aircraft batteries in Hyde Park, to those
\nthat should be, like Corporal Joan Pearson who won the George Cross for
\nbravery in rescuing aircrew from a burning plane.<\/p>\n

But mostly Paul told us about the range of jobs that women took up during the war, primarily to
\nrelease the men to fight, but also that demonstrated what they themselves
\nwere capable of – whether spotting a V2 factory from aerial photographs, or
\nferrying planes from the factory to their fighter station<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
