This scrapbook consists of press cuttings, including photographs, from national and regional newspapers, documenting the formation of the Women's Royal Naval Service (WRNS) in 1917, and the appointment of Dame Katharine Furse as its first Director. Many cuttings describe parades, drill and inspections by various dignitaries. There is also coverage of the case of Violet Douglas-Pennant, Lady Rhondda's report on the state of the Women's Royal Air Force (WRAF) which led to her dismissal as Commandant of the Women's Royal Air Force, and the subsequent Judicial Inquiry set up by the House of Lords. The collection ends with victory celebrations in 1919 and the demobilisation of the WRNS. It also includes a large number of cuttings and photographs relating to women's war work in general.
