Green Gables and the Great War

“When our women fail in courage,
Shall our men be fearless still”

In this episode, Phoebe Watson joins us to discuss the perspective of women and families on the home front of World War 1 and the courage that was displayed by the characters of Rilla of Ingleside, the last book in Lucy Maud Montegomery's Anne of Green Gables series.
