Mavis Nicholson talks to Francine Stock

What Did You Do In The War, Mummy?

Venue: Richard Booth’s Bookshop

Women’s wartime experiences altered their lives forever and changed the way women would live in the future. Mavis Nicholson’s interviewees range from working class to aristocracy, from ‘lumberjills’ to members of the labour movement, from showgirls to intelligence officers, and from administrators to the ‘nightingales’ who worked in flying hospitals. She discusses her interviewing career with Francine Stock.
