\nJuly 30, 2023 - What did service in the World Wars mean to women who found new opportunities to enter the workforce and join the fight as never before? We\u2019ll go on a fictional ride with one of those service members with today\u2019s novelist, Jenni Walsh.
\n
\nHer novel is \u201cThe Call of the Wrens,\u201d the third she joined us to discuss after her debut, \u201cBecoming Bonnie,\u201d and its sequel, \u201cSide By Side,\u201d about \u201cthe crash of the century,\u201d when Bonnie Parker met Clyde Barrow. You can find those conversations in our archives wherever you enjoy the show or via the links above.

\nIn \u201cThe Call of the Wrens,\u201d Jenni introduces us to the women of Britain's Women's Royal Naval Service who are shaped by service in the Great War and twenty years later in World War Two, when they're confronted by a life-changing moment that they meet head on at 70 miles an hour.
\n
\nIt's a vivid, emotional saga of love, secrets, resilience\u2014and the knowledge that the future will always belong to the brave souls who fight for it.
