Research: Dissertation

Today I did some work on my dissertation. It's slowly getting there! It's so interesting reading up about Land Girls and their experiences during their time helping the war effort. Some of the accounts are actually pretty emotional and overwhelming. Basically my dissertation is just an excuse to say THANKYOU to them for being so awesome and help path the way to equality for women.

Today I was specifically looking at WWI recruitment posters and how they portrayed the Women's Land Army in an idyllic and, almost, glamorised manner, using patriotic sayings and suggestions to encourage women to sign up.

Research: Dissertation

For my dissertation, I am writing about 'Land Girls' of the 1940s and the representation of women from this time.
Being both a lover of vintage fashion & design and a self-proclaimed feminist, I thought this subject would be perfect for me to write about.
My initial research is photographs of Land Girls.

 






YOU GO GIRLS <3
