- Description
- An account of how the male-dominated world of British diplomacy gradually let professional women in. Until 1946, no British woman could officially represent her nation abroad. It was only after decades of campaigning and the labours performed by women during the Second World War that diplomatic careers were finally opened to both sexes.
