Hats Off - and Corsets Too - for Victory by Angela Essex

Angela Essex made her film at the digital stories course that was held at Stoke Lodge.

She writes: Thanks to the Adult Learning Course I was able to make a film using a new package and equipment that I have never used before which thus enabled me to make a short film about the effects of the war on the women at home. After doing my initial research at the Reference Library I was able to put together a short film about the change in women’s styles and fashions of the era. Particularly as they were having to take the place of men in the factories, hospitals and offices.
