Ottawa Canadian War Museum


I went to the War Museum because of their special exhibit about women in the world wars. Having just been to Fashion on the Ration at the Imperial War Museum in London, I wasn't expecting much. I was very impressed with the quality of the exhibit.  There were vignettes about various aspects of women's lives and roles during the wars. The curators also dug out examples of women's uniforms from WWII that you could touch and handle. This included a cap and purse. I love being able to touch and feel and examine the details of clothing from the past. 


Sock knitting was a big deal during both wars.
