Hello! thanks for this interesting and insightful window into the life of those left on the home front. I would welcome a "part 2" of what happened when the soldiers came home. How many women stayed in the workforce or were inspired to pursue a career. I would be interested to learn more about those meatless recipes they used to ration meat as well.
Take a look at the Wartime Farm show - it's here on youtube. It's from a British perspective, but still very interesting! I also love Melanie Gall's WW1 and WW2 knitting songs, which also refer to those "homefront" duties of those not actively fighting.
Superb! I loved this so so much! Thank you for such fascinating stories. Such a great point, that so much happened and changed for people at home and it's important to remember and reflect on that. Also, beans on toast!! It makes so much sense!
heyy just wanted to say that even though history is definetly not my favorite subject, i am an absolute fan of yours! your videos have made me love history more and more, keep going
Really interesting - I live in the UK and I did not realise the US lived as we did during the war. The only thing that I think was different was that we had the Land Army girls who worked on farms. Also I am not sure if we had war bonds.
This video touches on the US experience, but also focuses a lot on Canada, where I'm from. Here, I believe we also had Land Army girls working on farms. :)
@@Historidame That makes more sense. The US soldiers who came to the UK were reported as having things like chocolate and nylons which they wouldn’t have had if they were rationed.
"Women were paid less to do the same work as men did. And they often had any credentials they possessed overlooked or ignored." Some things never change~
My mom remembers older sisters drawing lines on their legs to resemble stocking seams. Her sisters used eyebrow pencil.

The organ meat substitution probably explains why my grandpa loved liver and onions. I was always baffled by it as a kid.

If this period is interesting to you, I suggest reading the book, The Kitchen Front, by Jennifer Ryan.
Thanks for the recommendation! :)
