3. Women in the Workplace

Virginia Nicholson's evocative account of the Second World War is told through a multitude of individual women's experiences.

As their stories unfold we discover how they loved, suffered, laughed, grieved and dared.

And how women entered the workplace in ever-increasing numbers.
