Synopsis

This book explores the phenomenon of women entering the engineering trades during World War I, providing a detailed account of the struggle for the recognition and fair treatment of women in these roles. The author draws upon extensive research to chronicle the evolution of women's involvement in engineering, from its inception in the mid-19th century to the critical period of the war. The book highlights the ways in which societal prejudice and industrial resistance hindered women's progress, and the strategies employed by women and their allies to overcome these obstacles. Ultimately, it sheds light on the significant contributions made by women to the war effort and the lasting impact of their fight for equality in the workplace.
