Pre-war debutantes, the young unmarried daughters of the British upper classes, were a privileged and secluded segment of society in the 20th century. However, the outbreak of World War I transformed their lives forever. It brought about independence, exposure to new customs, and a challenging no-nonsense approach that suited them well for wartime. This book explores the diverse range of challenges, shocks, and responsibilities these women faced, including serving as chauffeurs, couriers, ambulance drivers, nurses, pilots, spies, decoders, factory workers, farmers, land girls, and in the Women's Services. It delves into the extent to which class barriers were dismantled, whether they remained within their social circles, and the impact of love and relationships during this period.
