Enid Barraud, a writer who left London and joined The Women's Land Army, wrote a memoir about her life on the farm on the Home Front.

Publication date: 25 January 2024
Publisher: Little Toller Books


In 1939, disillusioned with her urban existence, Enid Barraud abandoned London and relocated to a village in Cambridgeshire, where she joined what became known as The Women's Land Army. This army consisted of thousands of women who worked the land, amidst the backdrop of war raging both domestically and internationally. Enid's recently unearthed memoir, Set My Hand Upon The Plough, originally published in 1946, offers a captivating and candid account of her life on the farm during the Home Front. Barraud, who preferred to identify as male and went by the name John among the other farm workers, lived alongside her female partner. This remarkable memoir now stands as a significant contribution to the realm of LGBT memoirs, shedding light on the experiences of individuals who fought or worked towards the liberation of Europe. The book has been graced with an introduction by Luke Turner, the author of Out of the Woods and Men at War.
