Surplus Women: The life and times of single women in the 1920s and 1930s.

Speaker  -  Karen Cade

 

"Britain's problem with two million 
superfluous women".

Headline Daily Mail 1921 Lord Northcliffe 

 Who were these ‘surplus women’ and
 why were they a problem? This talk 
 explains the background to this
 extraordinary quote and gives a
 glimpse into the life of a single
 woman between the two World Wars.
