A BBC clip for moe information:

(You might need to copy and paste that one)
A special song to listen to and learn more about all the women who stepped in to do many jobs that had only ever been done by men before the Second World War. This song was written specially for the 75th anniversary commemorations:
Maybe you could search for other music that was popular during the 1940s. Can you find out about the artists, singers, and bands that were listened to? Do you know anyone who was alive in the 1940s? Could you phone or email them to say hello and ask about what they remember about the time?
Enjoy your afternoon everyone,
Mrs Morrison & Mrs Lea
