Annotation:
Based on interviews and original research, this is an account of the millions of American women who worked non-traditional jobs in such places as defense plants, factories, farms, and offices during World War II. Women were needed to fill these jobs while most men were fighting in Europe and Japan, but when the war ended they were expected to give up their careers and return to their domestic traditional roles. Black-and-white photographs illustrate the text.

 

Praise
Kirkus
"The strengths of this book are in the happy combination of abundant primary source material, a clear narrative style, and effective, well-placed photographs. An important contribution."
