Description

The Sweethearts: Tales of Love, Laughter and Hardship from the Yorkshire Rowntree's Girls In 1932, Madge joined her nine siblings at Rowntree's factory in York, about to embark on a journey that would change her life forever. The smell of chocolate filled the air as she began working alongside hundreds of other women who were also starting their careers. From the 1930s through to the 1980s, these women - known as The Sweethearts - worked tirelessly behind the scenes to produce chocolates for Britain's workers and consumers. Their stories are one of love, laughter, and hardship, set against the backdrop of war, depression, and social change. This book tells the true story of The Sweethearts, the women who played a vital role in keeping the chocolate industry going during some of its most challenging times.
