During World War I, many working class women found themselves employed outside the home for the first time, the number of women working in trades already associated with a female work force increased, traditionally male-dominated industries recruited women to fill the shortfall, and the concentration of women employed in government munitions factories grew. This illustrated history chronicles the participation of women in the war effort. Enhanced by personal accounts of the women themselves, together with the story of those involved in producing valuable photographic archive from the Home Office Industrial Museum, the lives and backgrounds of those who entered the then unfamiliar world of industry is revealed

New Paperback Quantity: 1

Grand Eagle Retail
(Wilmington, DE, U.S.A.)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. During World War One, as the casualties mounted and with the introduction of conscription, over a million women were employed for the first time in industry, replacing the men recruited for the armed services. Many of these women worked in industries which had previously been regarded as the preserve of men, often involving heavy or skilled labour.This illustrated history chronicles the increasing participation of women in the war effort, as well as the untold story of a small group of remarkable Women Factory Inspectors, who grasped the opportunity to record the conditions and work of women in all forms of industry, as a means of providing a record for future campaigns to improve the working conditions and health of women. The work of this group of Women Factory Inspectors created the foundations for the Home Office Industrial Museum, which later displayed modern health and safety equipment for industry, as well as providing the organisational drive to create an archive to record the contribution of women to the Home Front, which became part of the founding archive of the Imperial War Museum. The untold story of women at work during the First World War, providing a striking and informative insight into the development of the female workforce during the social and economic upheaval of the war years. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780750956277
