Description
Susan Major's book explores the lesser-known stories of female railway workers during World War II. Through interviews with women who worked in roles previously reserved for men, this book sheds light on their experiences and challenges. These women faced difficulties in a workplace not designed for them, from inadequate facilities to sexist attitudes from colleagues. Yet, they persevered, often taking on tough responsibilities and coping with the harsh realities of war. Their stories offer valuable insights into the perceptions and concerns of these young women during a pivotal moment in history. By sharing their voices, this book fills a gap in the existing literature on women's wartime roles, providing a unique perspective on a significant period in British history.
