While the world was busy in conflict, the women of Scarborough went to work.

Not for glory. Not for headlines.

But because it had to be done.

The home front was a battlefield too, and these women didn’t just hold the line, they rewrote what strength and courage looked like.

Barbra Dickson has dedicated the last 20 years to ensure these women are remembered and honoured, for their involvement in world’s biggest turning point in history.
