Packed with action, adventure, and unimposing heroism, The Spitfire Girls tells the tale of three incredibly brave women, set against the backdrop of World War Two.
The story's three heroines are very different women from very different walks of life, but when duty calls, they are all prepared to fight for their right to serve their country. May, Ruby, and Lizzie may have their own demons to face, but when they work together, there isn't much that this talented trio can't achieve when they put their minds to it!
Although each of the main characters does have a clear weakness, I enjoyed reading about them as strong, independent women - yet also very human women who are not afraid to show emotion for the people they care about most. As their bond grows stronger, the solace that each woman finds in the others is incredibly touching to read.
The book is loosely based on a true story. The actions of the real-world heroines who went out there, under heavy criticism, and flew planes to help the war effort may not be widely known. However, these women's stories deserve to be told. True feminists before their time, these courageous ladies stood up for themselves and their abilities and, against all odds, their dedication and perseverance finally paid off.
In my opinion, every single one of those selfless women who put themselves in danger every day - yet still did not receive the recognition they deserved - is a true heroine. The Spitfire Girls is a great read with a poignant message, remembering the sacrifices made by our women during World War Two.
