I have come across, from time to time, reference to the wartime conscription of women in England during WWII. A short front page article in a 1945 newspaper was headlined, "England to stop draft of all over 30". It stated, "conscription for men and women for war jobs under Britain's national service law" has been discontinued. "No British women have been called up for a considerable time". (I will try to find more on this).
