Ladies Can't Climb Ladders: The Pioneering Adventures of the First Professional Women
It is a myth that the first World War liberated women. The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act of 1919 was one of the most significant pieces of legislation in modern Britain. It should have marked a social revolution, opening the doors of the traditional professions to women who had worked so hard during the War, and welcoming them inside as equals.
