Good Housekeeping War Bride's Guide to the USA

By the end of World War II, over 100,000 British women had married American servicemen. "Good Housekeeping" magazine was on hand to offer helpful advice to war brides leaving British shores to set up home in the United States. This book reproduces material originally published by "Good Housekeeping" in conjunction with the United States Office of War Information. 'You have undertaken to become an American – just as millions of people have done before you. Getting to know your country will be an exciting adventure...' The guide explained America and the Americans to the newlyweds before they said goodbye to their families and headed to their new life. Also included are charming stories, features, articles and poems from "Good Housekeeping" during the war years. Charmingly packaged 'A War Bride's Guide to the USA' is a delightful, nostalgic, entertaining and often extremely moving insight into the day-to day lives of the wartime generation and the challenges they faced.
