The first book in the series "Working waterways", this text by Emma Smith examines the time during World War II when, under a Ministry of War Transport scheme, women "off the land" were recruited to crew canal boats. Predictably, those who volunteered were by no means run-of-the-mill; faint hearts were unlikely to apply and certainly could not stick the privation, difficulty and physical demands of narrow-boat carrying. This book is a record of social history.
