Mrs John Bull Prepared

Synopsis

The most extensive compilation made at the time about the role of British women in the First World War. Beginning with a fantasy sequence which shows the Spirit of Womanhood overcoming male chauvinist resistance, the film goes on to illustrate the many areas where women were employed in the war effort. It provides an interesting social record in visual terms.
