A Study About Women’s Lives Completes Watford Social History Trilogy
This September a new social history study about women’s lives in Watford appears under Pen & Sword History. Struggle and Suffrage in Watford (1850–1950) by Eugenia and Quentin Russell is the first social history about women to be written specifically about Watford. It throws light on the lives, hopes and struggles of women in the Watford area (or South West Hertfordshire, traditionally served by the Watford Observer newspaper).
Pen and Sword author Greg Baughen has created the following video to promote his title RAF on the Offensive. Enjoy!
