The last tradition left was the weekly dance, which ceremoniously brought these courageous women and men together for a quickstep, fox trot and brief respite from the rigours of wartime. Serving their country as nurses, farmhands, munitions workers or members of the defence forces, these fascinating stories expose their struggle with gender stereotypes, the difficult release of social liberties and the dawning of new opportunities for all Australian women. Their passion, courage, resilience and commitment during wartime were all a precursor to the astonishing changes brought about by this incredible generation.
From Malta to Australia, New Zealand to the UK, the challenges and adventures faced by these women were unprecedented. Revealing poignant and personal conversations, photographs and letters, "Between the Dances" is a testament to real life during World War 2. In preparation for her book "Between the Dances", Jacqueline Dinan interviewed over 300 women around Australia to collect first hand stories from World War Two. Thousands of women ventured where few had gone before - into the services and workplaces previously considered the sole preserve of men. The start of World War 2 changed women's lives and their place in Australian society forever.
