One of the important issues raised by the WW2 was the role of women. Like the Great War of 1914 - 1918 the government found that production could not keep up with demand and so women were encouraged to take up jobs to assist the war effort. Royal women were no exception and infact their willingness to take work on encouraged other women to do so. The Duchess of Kent joined the Wrens (part of the Royal Navy) and her relative Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth II also joined up. In all 7 million women took part in the war effort, whether in uniform, or on a production line, in factories or on the land, manning guns or minting coins they were essential to Britains success and indeed survival
