Sorry if this is a little off topic.
I'm writing a book & I have no grandparents left to check my understanding with & Google isn't that helpful. I'm thinking of the pre war 30's.
I have a female character who is 15 in 1937.
In the 1930's did women leave school at 14 or so? Did they then work until they found a husband & then stopped working? What kind of social life did they have? Where would they meet a husband?
Many thanks for replies. I thought I'd put in here rather than Chat as posters who frequent this board may have more knowledge.
