Description

Mention the Girl Guides to any woman, and the reaction will be strong.

They are all too often regarded merely in terms of biscuit sales and sing-songs; hardly anybody is aware of the massive impact they had on gender equality and on the outcome of World War II.

This book explores how the Guides' work was crucial to Britain's victory.
