London 1919: a generation of teenage girls are forced to rethink their futures after the calamity of World War I. There are almost two million more women than men in Britain and our protagonists must now forge their way in a country that is rapidly changing beyond recognition. Marriage is only an option for 1 in 10 girls, which means they are forced into the workforce. They are unable to vote and are taught not to expect equality with men. Society does not seem to have a place for them, calls them "Surplus Women" and recommends that they emigrate to other countries where they might find husbands. The show uses a number of historical texts, including a book called The bachelor Girl's Guide to Everything, newspaper and magazine accounts and personal writings from real women of the day. Follow their journey in a fight for independence; a fight for happiness and a fight for friendship. The Bachelor Girls is a touching, lively and humorous exploration of life about the forgotten women in post-war Britain.
