The ‘Myth’ of Beaumont-Hamel
The First World War has had an indelible impact on Newfoundland, shaping not only its relationship with Britain and empire, but also its union with Canada in 1949. For some, the Battle of the Somme was a powerful display of Newfoundland's identity as a British dominion and its loyalty to the mother country. Many Newfoundlanders, however, lament the tragic economic and political consequences of Newfoundland's war service that many believe led to i…
‘New war, same old story’
Airing during the centenary of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the Blitz, Home Fires (ITV, 2015–16) deals with both world wars by linking them through war-related trauma that not only coloured wartime experiences but also shaped generational experiences in the decades following both conflicts. Set in the Second World War and focusing on the women of the Great Paxford Women’s Institute in rural Cheshire, the series complicates simp…

Women's Institutes drama groups and Shakespeare in early twentieth-century England, 1919-1939
This article examines the use of Shakespeare by the Women’s Institutes drama groups during the interwar period in rural England. The WIs used amateur theatre to emphasise women’s social and cultural value as part of their broader effort to revitalise the countryside. The article asserts that the broad nature of the WIs and its local variances meant that the drama groups not only appealed to a diverse group of women, but their performances also ha…
Britishness and otherness
This article situates Land Girls (BBC, 2009-2011) in dialogue with the Second World War and its legacy. Although the series ostensibly deals with the experience of British Land Girls during the war in a melodramatic way, Land Girls is best understood as an anxious commentary on the place of Britain and its cultural institutions following the war. The series uses national, racial and economic others in order to de-romanticise notions of a collecti…

Spinsters, war widows, and wounded soldiers
Although a prolific romance novelist of the early twentieth century, Berta Ruck (1878–1978) has garnered very little critical attention or appreciation, in no small part due to the seemingly generic and conventional narratives of her dozens of novels. This article rejects the dismissive approach taken to Ruck’s work by focusing on her novels written during and immediately following the First World War and examining them in the context of contempo…
What to Do with the Girls?” The Legacy of Women Farm Workers in Britain, 1919–1939
In the aftermath of World War I, public concerns about the “female surplus” promoted various efforts to stimulate women’s emigration to the dominions in order to relieve the presumed burden on the postwar economy. Opportunities for women in agriculture were part of the campaign to relocate women for work, but the plan soon encountered challenges from domestic groups that objected to the “dumping” of “surplus” females in the dominions and argued t…
The Women’s Land Army in First World War Britain
Between 1917 and 1919 women enlisted in the Women's Land Army, a national organisation with the task of increasing domestic food production. Behind the scenes organisers laboured to not only recruit a
Practice with Immigrants and Refugees
Immigrant clients and their social workers can provide useful insights regarding elements of productive practice. Thirteen social workers and 19 clients were interviewed about their experiences. Two major themes were derived: Multifaceted Perception of Self and Other, as revealed in multiple connection pathways, multiple levels of cultural incorporation, and multiple communication avenues, and Proactive Service Provision through cultural bridging…
