- Cultivating victory : the Women's Land Army and the Victory Garden movement Cecilia Gowdy-Wygant offers an original look at the back and forth conversations between the women (and the governments) of Britain and the United States as they defined urban women's responsibilities in securing food production during the First and Second World Wars. Exhaustively researched, with an engaging set of illustrations from the period, Cultivating Victory convincingly lays out the shift from growing roses in support of home to growing tomatoes in support of troops, leading in the process to a more complex understanding of the relationships among nationalism, internationalism, food production, and women's roles in all these arenas during the twentieth century.
