I have always found it impressive that the Land Girls turned up and got on with it. Interestingly, a 1/3 of them came from cities, the vast majority from London. Overall, the recruitment campaign focused on recruiting women from towns and cities, particularly those with little or no prior experience of agricultural work.

The aim was to transfer female labour from urban industries, domestic service, and clerical work into the countryside to replace men who had joined the armed forces. Many recruits were young, single women seeking paid employment, independence, or a sense of contribution to the national war effort.

Training was often brief and practical, and placements could be physically demanding and isolating, marking a sharp contrast with urban life. This recruitment strategy fundamentally reshaped rural labour and challenged traditional ideas about women’s work and roles.
